Advent & Christmas Meditations
Jesus Is The Reason For The Season!: We welcome you to our site, and wish you a blessed Christmas season. We offer the following Christ-centered seasonal meditations for your consideration:
CHRISTMAS PAST:
Gabriel’s World Tour, 6 B.C.
- Zechariah: “Yes, but …”
- Mary: The Bible talked about the Messiah, but not about being the Messiah’s Mom.
CHRISTMAS PRESENT:
Finding the Manger Amidst the Madness of the Mall
- Christmas Cheer: Encountering God in the check-out aisle.
- Switch Seats: Feeling run down? Try a new power source.
CHRISTMAS FUTURE:
Living In Hope
- The Second Advent: We’re waiting for more than Dec. 25.
- A Thousand Years Are Like A Day: We don’t know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future.
These meditations were prepared by Rich Miller of Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Rich is a lay speaker who attends the The Hopewell United Methodist Church in Hopewell Borough, N.J.
