What is Advent All About?
Read Luke 2:11
Today’s Truth
The most significant indicator, however, that a special day is drawing near is on our church calendar: the beginning of Advent. The season of Advent is the time we prepare, not for extra expenditures of cash, but to remember the Christ child who came to live among us. We attempt, once again, to consider that God actually assumed our humanity and was born and entered our world to secure our redemption.
Discussion Question
- What is the state of your heart as you enter this season of the year?
- Are you more consumed with the expectations of this season or are your focused on how God fulfils his promises?
- What do you tend to worry about in this Christmas season? How does worship change your heart posture?
Life Application
While we will no doubt be caught up in all the hurried activity of the Christmas season, let us also take time this Advent to prepare our hearts to welcome once again the God who laid aside His glory and assumed our humanity because of His great love for us. There are few truths in this world that can be more wonderful, more startling, more exciting than this.
