DAY#2 Jesus is the Bridge Advent Calendar
Welcome to Advent Season 2023!! Advent is the season that begins the celebration of Jesus' coming to earth. The word "Advent" is derived from the Latin word "adventus" which means "coming". During Advent, Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah Jesus but it is also a time to prepare for the second coming of Christ.
I have featured a different Advent calendar each year since 2016. This year we are featuring "Jesus is the Bridge" calendar. Actually, this calendar does not have a Christian message - however, I have adapted it to show the true meaning of Christmas - The birth of Jesus Christ our Savior!!

Why the bridge you might be asking? Well, Jesus Christ is the reason why there is no longer any division between us. In Galatians 3:28 (see picture below) we learn that we are ALL one in Christ. That means it does NOT matter what color your skin is, nor what gender, it does not matter if you are from Palestine or from Israel and it does NOT matter which way you lean (politically speaking). WE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST - Jesus is the bridge that gets rid of all division and separation.
Today is December 2nd and I am opening Box#2
People shopping for Christmas gifts and specifically from an antique store.
In the Scripture passage below we learn that when we are filled and led by the Holy Spirit, then we are ALL adopted by God - and this is because of Jesus Christ. He (Jesus) is the Bridge that goes over the rapidly flowing stream of fear and connects us to freedom; to safety; to prosperity; to family!! We have become heirs/coheirs with Christ!!
"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ"
Romans 8:14-17
