Advent 2023: What Is The Gift of Advent?

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Where do we find ourselves as we enter into the First Sunday of Advent tomorrow? Have we found time to arrive into this season of preparation? Are we open and ready to prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus? Do we desire to? 

This week, let us ponder on the ultimate gift that God the Father gives us. He is Jesus Christ, hope of the world. Through this week’s reflections and invitations, we delve into the gift of Hope in our lives – how it is freely given to us, how it seeks to bring us new life. 

We pray that you may come to recognise again, with new awe and wonder, this gift you are about to receive at Christmas. 

Share this post with a friend, and let us walk with us as we journey through Advent together each week.

At first glance, we may be quick to think of the physical and natural aspect of death. Yet, the call of Christ also entails dying to self – surrendering the desires, the habits and lifestyles that prevent us from following and loving Him.

The One Thing Necessary: 3rd Sunday of Lent

If Jesus were to enter our churches today, what will He find? He would not find any cattle, sheep or doves, like in today’s gospel. But will He find our hearts noisy and distracted with our worldly concerns and thoughts?
