Advent Devotional Dec 22 | Goodrich Memorial UMC
Introduction
Welcome to Central Baptist Church's Advent Devotional for December 22. We invite you to join us on this special day as we reflect on the significance of Advent and its role in deepening our faith. This devotional aims to provide you with a meaningful and insightful experience as we prepare for the celebration of Christmas.
What is Advent?
Advent is a season of anticipation and preparation in the Christian calendar. It begins four Sundays before Christmas and lasts until Christmas Eve. During this time, we reflect on the coming of Jesus Christ into the world and the hope and joy it brings to our lives. Advent is a time of spiritual reflection, penance, and prayer as we eagerly await the birth of Jesus.
Importance of December 22 in Advent
December 22 holds special significance in the Advent season. It is a time when we draw closer to the celebration of Jesus' birth. On this day, our devotional focuses on the themes of love, hope, joy, and peace that Advent symbolizes. Through scripture readings, prayers, and meditation, we strive to deepen our understanding of these essential aspects of our faith.
