The Promise of a Savior

The King is coming. Jesus Christ has come and will come again.
This is the hope of the Church whom He purchased with His blood.
Jesus’ coming is the eager expectation and desire of His people.
It is our joy because He is our treasure and greatest good. This
is the theme of “Advent,” formed from
a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival.” It’s the traditional
celebration of the first advent of
Jesus in humility and the anxious awaiting of His second advent
in glory. The season is a time for remembering and rejoicing,
watching and waiting.
