Let’s Celebrate the Coming of Christ

                Advents is the period of time on the church calendar when Christians prepare to celebrate the first coming of Christ while looking forward to His second coming. During Advent, we emphasize hope, peace, joy and love, which God sent with Christ.

                Hope for we have an inheritance reserved in heaven, a living hope through the resurrection of Christ from the dead (1 Peter 1:3-5). Peace for we will love life and see good days, if we turn from evil and do good and if we seek peace, for the Lord watches over the righteous and hears their prayers (3:10-12). Joy for we have inexpressible joy even though we have trials because our faith is being tested and proven genuine. The end of this faith is the salvation of our souls (1:6-9). And last love, for we can love one another with a pure heart because we have been born again through the Word of God which lives and abides forever (1:22-23). Because Christ came the first time, we can live with hope, peace, joy, and love till He comes again.

                For this season we should be closer to God. Look for Him and put it in your heart. Accept him as our God and Saviour.
