Christmas
Luke 2:1-20
This week we are focusing on the Advent of Jesus. It is a glorious thing to consider that the God of all creation came into the world in a tiny infant and lived among us. Jesus is truly Emmanuel, God with us. This story is second only to Christ’s death and resurrection in being representative of the depth of God’s love for each of us. God was incarnated in human flesh for the ultimate goal of bringing us salvation. The true message of Advent and Christmas is the reality of God’s presence in Jesus with each of us.
One additional thing that we don’t often think about as we celebrate Christmas is that Jesus has promised a Second Advent. Jesus promised he would come again to establish his kingdom for all eternity. As we remember Jesus’ first Advent let us look forward with anticipation to Christ’s glorious return
