The very definition of Advent is “the Arrival of a notable person. The arrival of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, is about as notable of an arrival one will ever know. For there is no one greater than He. It is Jesus who brought peace, everlasting peace into the world. The way we find lasting peace, eternal peace is ONLY through Jesus Christ. For it is by Him and Him alone that we can receive the gracious and free gift of salvation.
So today, we begin Advent, we are going to focus on the hope given to mankind by God. Hope in anyone or anything else is fleeting and does not last. Our hope for a better future, our hope for lasting peace, our hope for salvation will not be lasting without God. You cannot know and experience everlasting hope until you know God and know Him on a personal level. It is when you begin a relationship with Jesus Christ that you begin to understand the power of eternal hope in Him.
