Christmas in the Holy Land

Our world in the best of times seems uncertain and upside down. If it wasn’t for Jesus, the Son of God, we would have no hope. Every Christmas reminds us that the gift of Immanuel—God with us—is a gift that keeps on giving. We are never alone, from now until eternity. That is worth celebrating. 

God With Us

During Advent, we remember that Jesus is God’s Star, heralding God’s love and forgiving power to us. Each devotional in this series is for one of the Sundays leading up to Christmas. The fifth, and final devotional, is for Christmas Day. Use these short reflections around a meal table, or on your own. More than anything, lift your eyes to God’s Star –Jesus – as your Hope this season. 

Adore Him: One Star One Hope 

As you journey through this Advent season, pause each week to rediscover the hope, peace, joy and love that can be yours because of the miracle of the first Christmas —  Jesus moving into our neighbourhood.  May that miracle become a reality for us all this Advent as we allow Jesus to move into our homes, families, relationships and into our hearts.
