In our last week of the Advent season, before coming to Christmas Morning, where we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we are looking at love. That love is the story through and through. From the Old Testament to the New. Jesus Christ, God the Son, come to earth to save humanity from the consequences of their sin, for all who believe, giving them eternal life. We don't just celebrate his birth, but we celebrate the love of the Trinity expressed to humanity, and rejoice at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

In this third week of Advent we focus on the angels declaring that the birth of Jesus is good news for all people, and it is good news of Great Joy! But it's more than that. It's not just joyful news, but Jesus is our Joy. He removes our shame, our guilt, our sin, our grief and sorrow. The news of his birth is Joy!

In our second week of the Advent Season we are looking at Jesus our Peace. The bible calls Jesus the Prince of Peace. It also says that our God is the God of all peace. As we reflect on what God has done, and look forward to what He will do in and through our lives, we ask for His peace!
