Advent is about new beginnings. And on Christmas Eve we experienced the culmination of waiting and expecting. Yes, we began a deeper walk with the One who knows us the best and loves us the most.
Jesus came into the world, fully God and fully man. Jesus Christ brings salvation to us in order to reconcile all things to the Father.
- Hope ensures your new beginning is purposed by God and not an accident.
- Peace ensures your new beginning is anchored in God’s faithfulness.
- Joy ensures your new beginning is grounded in God’s imminent presence.
- Love ensures your new beginning is anchored in God’s unconditional love.
It is this Jesus who suffered, died, and was buried for you. It is this Jesus who rose from the dead in order for you to know the most incredible new beginning…forgiveness of sin, everlasting life, and purpose for living.
It is this Jesus who knows you the best and loves you the most.
