Jesus is priceless. No one else, no thing, no feeling or wishing can overcome our slow perishing and eventual death except Jesus. That is why celebrating his arrival is unique and special. Advent is the Church’s traditional way of anticipating his birth celebration each year. There is much to like about the busy Christmas season, but all of it should eventually point us back to Jesus. Advent helps us slow down and connect to Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit and the Bible. Our Advent devotions this year are mostly traditional Bible based readings that have connected people to Christ during the Christmas season for ages.
