"Christian faith is not blind faith.
It is the wakeful expectation of God, which touches all the senses.
The early Christians prayed standing up, looking up,
with arms outstretched and eyes wide open,
ready to walk or to leap forward.
Their prayer posture reflects tense expectation not quiet heart searching.
"We do not watch just because of the dangers that threaten us.
We are expecting the salvation of the world.
We are watching for God's advent.
With tense attention, we open all our senses
for the coming of God into our lives, into our society, to this earth""
~ Jurgen Moltmann
Christ is coming, He has come, and He will come again.
