Advent
Monday, December 07, 2009
Advent is a season or time of preparation and waiting to celebrate the birth of Christ. This four week period covers the last four Sundays before Christmas, and as we joyfully and expectantly prepare for the arrival of Christ, we examine ourselves spiritually. Our goal is to prepare ourselves to encounter Jesus in a life-changing way. This may be the first time or the fiftieth time that we’ve celebrated the coming of Christ, but our goal is for this Advent season to make this encounter life changing.
The coming of Jesus into the world is an astounding event. It’s a great mystery. Here’s a video that we shared at The Well on Sunday that looks at a passage from the Bible that might have actually been a song that early Christians sang in worship. This song is a simple way to teach and learn some simple truths about the coming of Jesus and how his coming changed the world forever. May God use this exploration of these ancient words to help prepare you for the birth of Christ - all over again or for the very first time.
Peace,
Matt
