This Advent season, when the world feels chaotic, remember the Eternal Word who never changes. When you feel empty or weary, remember the Life-Giving Word who restores. And when darkness feels heavy, remember the Darkness-Breaking Word who conquers, for He will hold you fast.

Jesus Christ is the Promised Servant-Messiah who has come to proclaim good news to the poor – and through Him, we will be transformed into an oak that can endure storms of life and live for His glory in all circumstances. Then, this Christmas, root yourself in Christ, for if you remain in Him, you will bear much fruit.

Christmas is about a message of comfort for the people of God, for the Messiah King has been sent to us. With His power, He won’t crush us, but He will tenderly care for us and carry us close to His heart. Then, find comfort in Him today, for He alone can free us from the power of sin and bring us back to God.

Christmas reminds us that a King who is wise and powerful, just and gracious, will come to reverse the effects of the fall and restore all of creation to its original design. Then, don’t resist Him today. Look to Him. Listen to Him. Submit to Him. Wait for Him, for He will, one day, make everything new.

Christmas reminds us that God will not leave us in the dark but that He will shine His light upon us again – it tells us that He wants to dwell among us again. Then, this Christmas, let’s run to Christ, for He will give us a reason to hope again and a reason to rejoice again.

The greatest gift we receive at Christmas is Jesus Christ. He is the horn of our salvation and the light of the world that rescues us from our sin and darkness. Then may this Christmas be not just a sentimental holiday but an opportunity for us to experience the power of God so that we may erupt in worship to Him.

In this broken world, God desires to extend His mercy and grace – which is why He sent Jesus Christ to us. His Kingdom has come, and His Kingdom will one day be completed. Then until that day comes, let’s spur one another on to sing this song of joy knowing that the mighty One has done great things for us.

When the gospel comes to us, we can ask questions and we can even express our doubts – but it also bids us to come and die so that we may live a life pleasing to the Lord. Then may the Spirit give us the courage and strength to count the cost and surrender our lives to Jesus because we can’t do this on our own.

Zechariah’s story reminds us that our God is faithful. The wait is finally over – we get to meet the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the only One who is able to save us from sin and satisfy our souls. Then let’s turn and place our hope in Him today.

Jesus is not only the King we need but the King we desire for He leads us out of slavery, leads us back home, and leads us even when we’ve rejected Him. Then this Christmas, let’s worship this King because He came to save us, to give us worth, to give us hope, and to give us a reason to rejoice again.

Jesus isn’t just the King of the Jews but the Savior of the world. And we are now called to live under His life-giving authority – to surrender ourselves to His lordship. This Christmas, may we give Jesus the worship He deserves as we invite the world to shout for joy – proclaiming that the King has come.

Jesus may not be the King we expected but He surely is the King we all need – He was born to save us from our sins and give us life. And this King promises that He will be with us always. Then may we have the eyes to see His beauty and know that He alone is worthy of our worship – worthy of losing everything for.

The genealogy of Jesus reminds us that God is good, that God is gracious, and that God gives us rest through the person of Jesus Christ. This Advent, let us remember that Christmas is all about Jesus – His arrival. The wait is over – the King is here as was promised. Let us welcome and celebrate Him. Let us hope again.

The wait is over – Jesus Christ is born on this day. He is all that we need – and He will satisfy our souls completely. Then let us lay our worries, troubles, sorrows, and anger at His feet as we surrender the throne of our life to Him – the Savior King.

The Christmas message tells us that Jesus came to bring peace to our world – and this will turn our fear into great joy. May we ponder and declare this message as we fix our eyes on the Savior of the world, the Prince of peace.

The first Christmas was God’s salvation story unfolding in our history in an unexpected way – the Savior King coming as a baby to be placed in a manger – to show us that our salvation will be achieved in an unexpected way – the Savior King dying as a criminal in our place. He is the reason we celebrate and rejoice.
