Advent Reflections: Day 1
By Cortney Donelson

This Advent season, I invite you to join me for five minutes of reflection each day. I am convinced this time will help us prepare to fully celebrate the Birth of Christ.














Luke 19:10 (NIV)
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. 

If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you should know that because of God's vast love for you, Jesus was born more than 2000 years ago, leaving the comfort and perfection of the Kingdom of Heaven in order to seek you out and save you from an eternity apart from God. What a gift indeed!

If you are a Christ-follower, you have been found; you've received His saving grace! So, what now? We are ambassadors of Christ - instructed to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth, a lamp which is not to be hidden, salt which is not to lose its flavor, continually showcasing Christ's love for all to see. How have you been light or salt today?

Father God, thank You for the gift of Christ. You have made a way for all to find You, know You, and walk humbly with You. We are grateful for the search and save mission that started over 2000 years ago, and continues to this day. This Advent season, we want to affirm this certainty: Jesus is the truth, the light, and the way. Amen.
