Celebrating Advent

In an effort to be more Christ-centered this Christmas season, we will begin reading through this Advent Devotional tonight.

*********************************
The pastors and staff of Park Cities Presbyterian Church have written and designed this collection of devotions for each day of Advent, December 1-24, plus a special devotion for Christmas Day as a gift to assist your preparations for the celebration of the arrival of the Infant Savior.

We hope the title of this series, “From Bethlehem to Golgotha,” will prompt your worship of this Infant who was “born in a zoo and killed on a slaughterhouse cross so that we could inherit paradise, and all on His back.”

As you see the lights on your Christmas tree and in your neighborhoods push back the darkness, consider Jesus Christ, not just as the Infant of Bethlehem, but as “a Jewish Savior, killed in humiliation but raised in glory.” The brightest of Lights came to bear the darkest night of the soul. The Light of lights came into this lost world so that those of us hiding in darkness might find ourselves hidden in Him.

The Light will return again one day in His full and radiant brilliance. Celebrate His first Advent, look forward to His second. Use these devotionals to rejoice in the Gift of gifts, the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings. Sing or pray to the Lord the hymns that are suggested on each page from the Trinity Hymnal. May your Christmas be bright with the light of His presence!
