Herod and the martyrdom of the Holy Innocents

Joseph and Mary experienced a change of plans in their lives - by God's gracious ordaining.

In this second week of Advent, God comes to us in the wilderness and desert of our lives, calling us to prepare and look ahead in hope for our coming Lord.

The season of Advent calls us to to stay awake, ready and prepared for the Lord's coming whenever that may be. Advent is not so much about preparing for Jesus' first coming (his birth), but rather is about being prepared for his second coming on the last day. Advent time concerns itself with past, present and future as we remember God's faithfulness in the past, receive God in Christ as he comes to us now, and rejoice in his promised coming again.
