Advent

Snowflakes falling, Christmas coming Born in a manger No longer strangers To God our Father Who sent His Son To live among us And rescue us from danger Our sinful, flawed, and helpless selves The weight of shame and crushing doubts Fled like the shepherds ran that night To the baby wrapped in LIGHT Gift of love for you and me Born to die upon a tree To bear the burden of our sin So that we could belong to Him Receive this gift He offers free LIFE with God eternally He came, He died and rose again Death could not keep its hold—and then One sweet day we’ll rise with Him Watch with joy, He’ll come again Together, wait in hope and sing: “Glory to the King of Kings” • Savannah Coleman • Today is the beginning of advent, which means “coming.” How can we find hope in both Jesus’s first coming (as a baby) and His second coming (when He’ll return)? The Word became flesh, and lived among us. John 1:14a (WEB)
