Matayo 2:12-13

Every good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

In Charles Wesley’s famous Christmas hymn, “Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus,” we sing that Jesus is the joy of every longing heart. This Advent, discover how the divine orchestration of human events and various responses to his coming, exposes the longing of our hearts. From kings and rulers to shepherds and expectant virgins, Jesus’ advent reveals what we treasure. Find him the joy of your heart this Christmas.

This three week plan walks us through the timeless wonder of how God came to us through His son, Jesus. The plan is designed to begin on a Monday so that each weekend will include shorter content meant for rest and reflection during the holiday season. Join us as we study what the birth of Christ means for our future, present, and past.

アドベントは救い主の謙遜な誕生に私たちの注意を引き寄せるための4週間を意味します。今回の勉強はマタイとマルコの福音書から引用した4つの物語を含んでいます。これによって私たちはイエス・キリストの誕生に関する神の御計画を学び、その出来事に示された意味を経験することができます。質疑応答の形式は家族の祈り会、グループ討議、および個人的な学びに活用することができます。
