It Is the First Sunday of Advent

They were 
looking forward to a 
coming King.
But what the people didn't know
was that this king wouldn't 
inhabit an earthly throne that 
could be taken away
as they had seen so many times.

Oh no.

This Kingdom would last forever.
In fact it has existed forever in 
our Lord and King who is 
eternal.

This Kingdom is the only
everlasting power over 
sin and death.

Accomplished through the 
sacrifice of death.
Once.
For all 
who believe in His name.

So excited to begin the countdown to 
the visible story of our salvation.

Jesus.....
the babe lying in a manger.
Man.
God.
With a very important purpose.

That is what it is 
ALL 
about.

Now
and for 
eternity.

Enjoy this first Sunday 
of Advent.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel!

I'm not sure I said it, so, "THANK YOU" for taking me to your house and giving me internet access so that the first Sunday of Advent would not be completely ad libbed. You are such a good friend.
