For Our Saturday Night Readers - Advent
Advent is a season in the church calendar year used to prepare the hearts of the people for the celebration of Christ's birth, or advent. For more on Advent in general, click here.
Tomorrow, or the first Sunday in Advent, has been set aside to consider the hope associated with our Savior's birth. There was tremendous hope associated with the arrival of the Messiah. People who had been in bondage longed for freedom. People who had been oppressed longed for justice. People who had been neglected longed for comfort.
Consider the words of a song we will sing together tomorrow morning:
"O come, O come, Emmanuel; and ransom captive Israel"
Consider also these words from Psalm 25 that we will look at together tomorrow: "No one who's hope is in You, will ever be put to shame." Our aim tomorrow morning will be to grow our understanding of hope and its relevance to our souls - that we might truly unwrap hope this Christmas season.
