Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt Our faith is that the Savior will come soon. I am often asked, “How do you know that?” I answer bluntly, “Because I want the Savior to come soon. That is why he is near – there is no other reason!” The cause of Christ must be fulfilled wherever there are people who are waiting for it. There it will be, there it will come! That is why the time was close at hand for the apostles. And today, something toward the Day of Christ can happen if we surrender ourselves for this. Preparations for this can begin already. When it matures in our hearts, it will spread rapidly throughout the world; then the Last Day will come, the last, great Christmas! Source: When the Time Was Fulfilled
