The joy of Advent is not in our changing emotions, but in the greatness of our Savior. Scripture speaks of the joy of the Lord and the peace of Christ as durable and enduring things. We may not feel them to be true, but we can know them to be true. Isaiah tells us that those who dwell in darkness, even the deep pitch-black darkness of the pit, have seen the light of Christ. |
Even when we are confused or hurting, nothing is impossible for God. Just as God had a plan for Mary to give birth to the Savior of the World, God has a plan for us in our lives. As we head into the final week of Advent, use our Advent Calendar to spark activities and discussion points with your church. |
