Beginning of Advent: Hope
December 1, 2024
Hebrews 6:18-20
18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
What Is Advent?
Advent is a four-week season in the Church calendar dedicated to
anticipating the arrival, or "advent," of Jesus of Nazareth, the long-
awaited Messiah and King. Christians from many backgrounds celebrate
this time with reflections on hope, peace, love, and joy. And while their
practices may look different, all focus on the hope-filled arrival of Jesus.
