Advent: December 25th
Philippians 2:7-8 “But (Jesus)emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”
Christmas looks forward to Easter. In Christmas we see God’s long awaited promise for the Savior’s coming. In Easter, our champion and perfect Savior says, “It is finished.” In Jesus’s resurrection we have assurance that God has accepted Christ’s sacrifice. We have assurance that one day we, too, will be raised to new life if we have repented of our sins, put our trust in Jesus, and had the Holy Spirit change us.
In light of all we’ve learned, how might our holiday season look a little different this year?
How might you have greater rest, greater peace, and greater contentment than ever before?
Merry Christmas! May this holiday season make you more aware of God’s great love towards you!
I hope you have enjoyed this Christmas advent!
