Sunday Words of Encouragement November 29, 2009

This is the first Sunday of Advent - a day of hope and waiting. Our Pastor gave a message on "Waiting for Christmas." 
Although he didn't say these words precisely, it struck me near the end of the sermon that we should be waiting - not so much for Christmas but more appropriately - for Christ!

^{Verses for today:}

^{Luke 3:4-6 New International Version}

⁴As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
   "A voice of one calling in the desert,
   'Prepare the way for the Lord,
      make straight paths for him.
 ⁵Every valley shall be filled in,
      every mountain and hill made low.
   The crooked roads shall become straight,
      the rough ways smooth.
 ⁶And all mankind will see God's salvation.


I hope that you will each be a person who marvels at the true message of the Christmas season!
