Advent refers to the coming of Jesus Christ in time and at the end of time. We look forward to commemorating his birth into this world at Christmas and we look forward to the coming of Christ at the end of time where he will usher in the new heaven and the new earth. During this time at the end of the calendar year, we put our hope in Christ as the pathway towards our salvation and we pray that he will enter more fully into our lives today, so we can help serve him more completely.
