Advent
November 30, 2008 by Lillie
Today is the first Sunday in Advent, the beginning of the season of penitence and preparation for the arrival of Christ. As Father Chip Harper of All Saints Anglican Church explains in his liturgy lesson, we are really observing three Advents:
… the Advent of Christ’s physical birth in Bethlehem, the Advent of Christ coming into our own lives, and the Advent of his Second Coming at the history’s end.
Advent is an excellent season to spend some extra time in Bible study. Last year, I took the Christmas Incarnation study from Jesus Walk Bible Studies. This Advent, in addition to the Bible study on James I’m taking at church, I plan to review the weekly lessons from the Christmas Incarnation study.

I look forward to reading about your lessons. Also, I would like to mention that Advent is a time to renew your relationship with God, give something up as a sacrifice for everything you have received.
Advent is certainly a time to renew our relationship with God. We need to be reminded of all He has done for us—it’s sad that we aren’t always as grateful as we should be so it’s important to observe special seasons like Advent.
hey nice post. I liked this. we should be grateful to the almighty, our father.

John,
We should be thankful and worship without being reminded, but since we are often neglectful, it’s good to have special seasons to remind us of what we should be doing all the time.
