Luke 1:5-17
Preparation: Fix Your Eyes on Jesus
Speaker: Natalie Wong
As Christmas is just in a few weeks time, many of us are anticipating the events that occur during the Advent season. If we haven’t already, we will start to think about our gift list, organizing the dates of when we will be gathering with our family and friends, etc. We prepare for Christmas knowing that it is going to happen. Advent is an opportunity and reminder, to think about what it means to prepare for the Messiah’s return as we celebrate his original coming. It is a reminder that we need to be faithfully obedient to Jesus individually and as the church and prepare for the work of His kingdom. We need to fix our eyes on Jesus through our own circumstances by loving Him with everything we have and making disciples wherever we go. Let us gather together this first Sunday of Advent in preparation for the coming Messiah.
