Advent
Welcome to Advent, the first season of the Church Year! Advent begins the church year because the church year begins where Jesus' earthly life began--in the Old Testament prophecies of his incarnation. Most Christians, especially children, think of Advent simply as a prelude to Christmas – the celebration of Jesus’ birth – and this is right, because the word "advent" is from the Latin word for "coming," and as such, describes the "coming" of our Lord Jesus Christ in human flesh. But Christ's coming manifests itself among us in three ways--past, present, and future. In our weekly Bible readings in worship during the Advent season, we will encounter prophecies that speak of Jesus’ Bethlehem birth, prophecies that speak of his “second coming” on the Last Day, and readings which speak of his present coming to us through Word and Sacrament today.
