Daily Advent Reading
This is our Digital Advent Calendar for 2023. We would hope you could join in daily during the season of Advent. Every day’s Advent Gift box will have a new Scripture to read and reflect on. Every Thursday there will be a Children’s Ministry Activity for you and your children. Every Tuesday there will be a question for adults to enjoy and engage on our Facebook page.
Revelation 22:20
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Devotional
Advent is not just about looking back to Christ’s birth in His first coming but also about looking forward to His second coming. Just as Israel awaited the coming of the Messiah, so we too await in eager anticipation for the Lord to return to make all things right and all things new. We should never forget the lyrics of a favorite Christmas carol, “Joy to the World”:
“Joy to the world! / The Lord is come / Let earth receive her King! / Let every heart prepare Him room / And heaven and nature sing / And heaven and nature sing. / He rules the world with truth and grace / And makes the nations prove / The glories of His righteousness / And wonders of His love.”
In a world that frequently focuses on fear, uncertainty, and confusion we should never forget. “Yes, I am coming soon!” This is the great and guaranteed hope we have in Christ!
