Christ Who Comes | November 2026
Takalani Musekwa
As the disciples stood gazing into the sky where Jesus had disappeared, Two angels spoke words that capture the heart of Advent: “This same Jesus … will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11 NIV).
This same Jesus will come again. The one born in Bethlehem, who walked the streets of Galilee, the one who bore the scars of the cross, who rose from the dead and ascended to heaven — he is the one who will come again. He was born as King, crucified as King, and he will return as King of kings.
This truth shapes how we live in the time between his ascension and his coming again. The kingdom that Jesus proclaimed transcends culture and language. As Paul reminds us, we are to set our minds on things above, and not on earthly things. We are to put to death what is of the flesh and put on compassion, humility, kindness, gentleness, and patience. (Colossians 3).
We are ambassadors of this kingdom. The risen Christ helps us to continue to proclaim his kingdom today. Advent, therefore, is not just a season — it is a way of life. We pray, “Your kingdom come,” and people experience God’s kingdom through us, the Church. “In this world we are like Jesus” (1 John 4:17 NIV) John tells us.
However, even as we await the return of Jesus, we know how easily our focus can shift. When things are good, his coming can fade into insignificance. But when things are difficult, we cry for Christ to come back quickly. We are called to intentional waiting — patient, hopeful and steadfast. Jesus draws us into his own waiting for the renewal of all things.
Scripture encourages us not just to wait, but to stand firm as we wait. Jesus stands us firm as we wait for his return.
Let us be people of advent. Let us resist being despaired when things are tough, or being distracted from waiting when things are good. Let us rediscover the heart of Advent. This [same] Jesus will come again.
