Often at Christmas, we can miss the glory of the appearing of God in the flesh. It is astounding to think that God put on flesh and lived among humanity for 33 years in the person of Jesus. He was born as a baby, needing the help and care of his mother and the protection of his father. The incarnation - the appearing of God in the flesh changes everything for believers. It changes our lives now and changes everything about the life to come.
Advent is a wonderful time each year to consider both the first
Advent of Jesus, his birth in Bethlehem, but also, his second Advent - Jesus is coming again and he is coming for his own. This Advent season, consider with us all that we possess because of Jesus and his coming, his life, his death and resurrection. The first Advent of Jesus makes a relationship with God possible, it alone makes eternal life possible.
