Advent is a beautiful time of the year! It is a special time to prepare our hearts and minds for the coming of the Messiah! Christmas is all about Christ. If you don't have any time to marvel upon the miracle of God becoming a tiny little baby in order to redeem mankind, then you need to stop and ask yourself what exactly does Christmas mean to you. To help keep us "Christ-centered" I thought it might be fun to use some of the Christmas carols we all know and love to help us meditate on the birth of our Savior.
Week 1- "Go Tell It On The Mountain" written by John W. Work Jr.
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
{This is the year of evangelization, have you told anyone about Jesus?} Take a look at another of the verses:
When I am a seeker,
I seek both night and day;
I seek the Lord to help me,
And He shows me the way:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
Take some time this first week of Advent and ask Jesus to help lead you closer to Him. Make a list (and check it twice) to see what God is calling you to do.
