Upcoming Sunday
If a parent says, “I want to give my kids a real Christmas.” What do you think that parent means? Maybe they are thinking of trimming a freshly cut tree or finding the perfect presents or spending the holidays with extended family. “Then it will be a real Christmas!” Certainly, all those are wonderful things. However, none of them are what makes Christmas real.
If you want a real Christmas, then you need to observe Advent. Advent is Latin for “coming.” In the season of Advent, Christians observe the connection between the first time the Son of God came into our world as the Savior and the second time he will come as the Judge. Advent prepares our minds and hearts, so that we might soon celebrate a real Christmas.
