As we reflect on our own spiritual heritage, we are reminded of the bigger picture of the Israelites Advent, awaiting the Messiah who would rescue them in so many ways. We read all throughout the Prophets of the deep, intense longing for this day to come, for God's promised One to arrive!

We are also reminded of our own personal Advent, if we are a believer and follower of Christ. How we also were exiled from God, slaves to sin and longed for the day when we would be at peace, in our inner hearts and outer lives.

Once we grasp the full, breathtaking meaning of Jesus' birth, the Messiah finally coming, we realize that His coming changed the world and can transform lives!  So, shouldn't our celebration of His birth do the same?

This year, let's Worship God in loud, bold, creative ways!!  Spend less on unimportant things! Give more of our time, presence and resources with glad hearts to those who truly need it the most! Love all people through sharing the love of God, through telling the story of Jesus over and over again!
