“You look forward by looking backward, trusting nothing but God’s character” The Bible Project

 

Look back in CELEBRATION > forward in EXPECTATION  

 

Look back in REMEMBRANCE > forward in ANTICIPATION 

 

John 1:1-14

 

1) Advent - Arrival

 

Isa 9:2&6

Jn 3:16&17

2) Advent - Acceptance

 

Just because the promise came - does not mean that we suddenly partake of that gift. There must be a conscious choice to receive. 

 

Jn 1:10-12

Rom 15:13

Rom 4:17-21

 

3) Advent - Anticipation
