Advent of Hope

The Christmas season is the most wonderful time of the year, for a good reason! No, it's not the feasts, as delicious as they are. It's not even the about the gifts, as cool as they are to receive. It's also not about the parties, as great as it is to get together with family and friends. Christmas is an opportunity to celebrate the true reason for the season, the 'arrival' of Jesus.

As we look at the Nativity Story, the occasion for the birth of Jesus, and the prophecies fulfilled, we are moved to appreciate the arrival of Jesus to manifest hope for all mankind.

The scriptures beckon us to celebrate our saviour's arrival, as we also look with equal desire and anticipation for the return of Christ.
