Advent Worship Guide
(eBook)

The word Advent means "arrival." The Advent season is a dedicated time of the year where the people of God remember the arrival of the Savior, Jesus Christ, to the world. For thousands of years, God's people waited with eager longing and expectation for the One who would come to undo sin's curse. They groaned for the Savior who would come and right all that sin made wrong. They cried out for the Deliverer who would save them from the sting of death. Two thousand years ago in a little town called Bethlehem, that person appeared. He did not arrive to shouts of victory. He did not fly in on a chariot of fire. He came quietly, born to an ordinary mother and father. But this was no ordinary child, for He was God wrapped up in a few pounds of human flesh. The Promised Savior was God, Himself; come to put on human skin, live a human life, stretch out His human arms, and die a human death so that all humanity may turn to Him to be saved. This season, and this worship guide, is meant to aid you as you remember, rejoice, and rest in the sweetness of the Savior's advent.
