The Gift of Hope
From Series: "He Comes Bearing Gifts"
Our Lord Jesus is coming, bearing real gifts, profoundly important gifts. He came that first Christmas to win forgiveness and give all the gifts that come with it: hope, peace, joy, love. He is coming again at the end of this world to give the gift of resurrection to eternal life. In the season of Advent, we connect Christ’s first coming with his second coming. We rejoice in all the unconditional gifts he gives. Each week, more Advent candles are lighted. With growing eagerness and expectation, we look forward to the coming King!
