He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.
- Luke 2:5 (NLT)
This Sunday begins the Advent season, the time observed by many Christ followers as a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus.
During Advent, we focus on Bible verses that relate to the themes of hope, peace, joy and love.
We light candles and pray specifically for those things.
Advent reminds us that we are not the center of God’s plan (what???), that He has a grand plan that is so much larger than us.
Advent reminds us to slow down, that good things come to those who wait, and teaches us patience as we wait for Jesus’ return.
Advent reminds us of history, of traditions that we have observed both in the church and in our lives.
Advent reminds us of God’s promises, we are assured through His word that Jesus is coming back.
This advent season take the time to reflect on all these things, hope, peace, joy and love.
