Matthew 3:1-12
When receiving great people who have influence e.g The President, lots of preparations are required. When an event is about to happen for someone significant preparations are never ignored. This is the case for Christ Jesus our savior. We have to be prepared for His reception in our lives and also His second coming.
What can we do to receive Christ Jesus?

You may have been through a lot and you know itโs sinful, purpose to repent and write down some of those things. Tear down that list and in the same way determine in your life that you are not turning back. LET CHRIST REIGN IN YOUR HEART.
