গীতসংহিতা 80:3

Advent invites us to journey through the darkness to discover the light, the incarnate Word of God who "shines in the darkness" (John 1:5). This plan focuses upon the weekly themes of Advent—hope, peace, joy, and love—and serves as a guide through each week of the season. It is taken from our book, Dawn, with reflections for every day of Advent available within the Dwell Bible App.

Prepare yourself to celebrate the real reason for the season—Jesus! Enjoy 5 Advent devotions to start the month of December off right. These short, engaging reflections focused on hope, combined with the beauty and relevance of The Passion Translation—a fresh, faithful translation of the Bible—provide the inspiration you need to celebrate the true reason for the season.

Advent serves as a season of both reflection and anticipation. Though the traditional Advent season begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, this 5-day plan can be done over any five days during the Christmas season. We’ll dive into various Scriptures, each corresponding to spiritual themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. These themes deepen our understanding of how we are called to await the coming of the Lord.

Advent is a season of waiting, hope and expectancy. As we prepare for Christmas day, we both celebrate the birth of Christ and look forward to the day He returns again. For the next 7 days, prepare for the celebration of our Savior by reading the Christmas story from a different perspective each day!
