Advent Calendar – December 2
Preparing for Christmas
We are not alone in having to prepare for Christmas. God too had much to do to get people ready that first Christmas and the birth of His Son Jesus. He knew that the Jewish nation was not yet ready to receive the saviour of the world. So He sent someone to prepare people’s minds and get them thinking. Before Jesus was born in Bethlehem another special baby was born.
In the Book of Luke, chapter 1, you can read the story of how God intervened in the lives of an elderly childless couple giving them a son, John, who when he grew up would help people understand the importance of what happened that first Christmas morning.
So as you prepare the tree, the turkey and the mince pies let someone or something (such as this web calendar) prepare your heart for something quite special this Christmas time
