Christmas 1963, my first year of Bible School, was one of
the best ever. A few other students and I were not able to go home for the
break, so we remained at school that very cold winter. On Christmas Day, my
good friend Bill Sloan and I were enjoying early morning coffee and began to
discuss "The Second Coming,” something I as a new believer knew nothing
about. Bill began to teach me all he knew and we went through passage after
passage becoming more and more excited as the day sped by. We paused to eat a special
Christmas dinner in the dining hall and then went back to our room to study
some more. My oh my, what a wonderful, exciting day in the Word of God learning
what it says about the second coming of our Lord. Perhaps it has been a while
since we spent a whole day in the Word with friends. Let’s not wait for
Christmas to do it! "All Scripture is profitable..." (2 Tim 3:16), so
let's spend much time in it.
