The anticipation of the coming Savior!
“The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Advent comes from the Latin word, Adventus, which means coming. Advent is the anticipation of the second coming of Jesus Christ as well as a remembrance of his first coming as a baby born in Bethlehem. Advent is also a time of reflection of our own condition and our need for Jesus. Journey through this Advent with the following devotional from John Piper entitled, “The Dawning of Indestructible Joy”.
