Your Faith Journey 157
Sunday (11/28)
In his letter to the Galatians, the apostle Paul wrote, “when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him…so that he could adopt us as his very own children” (Galatians 4:4-5 NLT). One of the gifts of Christmas is that God came to be with us here on earth (Matthew 1:23). As we begin this Advent season preparing for the celebration of Christmas that will take place at various times throughout December, including Christmas Eve during AUMC worship services and Christmas day within homes throughout the world, we also remember that Christ will return on an unknown day in the future. Spending time preparing for the celebration of the birth of our Savior, as well as evaluating our readiness for his return, are import focuses during a season that could tempt us to direct our attention elsewhere. In the midst of the busy holiday season, we can find ourselves so consumed with buying gifts, attending parties, and doing things that we miss the presence of hope, love, joy, and peace found in and through Christ. This daily devotional for the first week of Advent is designed to help you focus on Jesus each day as you prioritize spending time with the God who wants to be with you.
