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!
