This Sunday marks the start of a new season in the Christian calendar, the season of Advent. This is a season of preparation for the arrival or coming of our Lord, Jesus. It serves not just a reminder of what His birth, but that we are awaiting his arrival once more; when He shall return. Advent marks a time for us to re-center our lives on Jesus, to live each day with joyful expectation. During advent, we are reminded that we are to be prepared every day of our lives for His return. And we should ask ourselves, Am I prepared?
Luke 2:25-38
