Psalm 9:10; 20:7; Isaiah 12:2; Proverbs 3:5; Isaiah 26:4; Jeremiah 17:7; 1 Peter 1:1-9; Revelation 19:16
“And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.”
The birth of Jesus was long-awaited by God’s people and meant that salvation had come to mankind. God’s people longed for the coming of the Messiah and today, His people long for the King’s return when all things will be made new and right.
Advent is a special celebration and contemplation of the coming of Jesus Christ that Christians participate in during the Christmas season. Advent literally means “arrival” or “coming”. During Advent season God’s people remember and rejoice in Jesus’ first coming to save his people from their sins, while at the same time long with anticipation and expectation for his return. Advent centers on Jesus, the saving Son. He alone is the one true King!
