to reach... arrive... an... Are we there yet...? word...
Today begins... (in church tradition...) the time of waiting for the celebration... of the arrival of Christ...
Reminded... that those who believe... wait perpetually in the season of Advent... for His return...
The word for the first Sunday in Advent...
Hope
Hope... found...
in a manger in Bethlehem...
in the Word made flesh...
in the Way to the Father...
in relationship with Him...
This Word for those who Believe... transforms hearts and lives...
...anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.
The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
A hope of new...
Consider today... this first Sunday of waiting...
How does your relationship with Christ
reveal itself today...? what's new...?
what's changed...?
Or... if you have yet to take hold of the hope found in Him...
What transformation do you hope for...?
What do you desire for Him to make new...? redeem...?
Examine your heart... your life... for evidence of Him...
Seek anew... as we wait...
