Right now we're in the middle of those weird 6 days between Christmas and New Years. The old is not quite gone, but the new has not quite come. It's a neat parallel of the gospel and how we live today awaiting our Savior to return. And the same thing applies - we need to be looking for Him. Especially in the past - that's God's work already done so that we can be faithful now and into the future looking forward to the work He will do.
