The preporation for the coming of christ.
"Remembering the future and looking forward to the past".
We 'look forward to the past' in looking forward to Christmas, the time when Jesus came to this earth 2000 years ago. But we also 'remember the future' - we remember that one day Christ will return again, and we therefore spend time remembering just What Christ said about his return, one day, in glory.
