DAY#8 - Jesus is the Lighthouse Advent Calendar

DAY#8 - Jesus is the Lighthouse Advent Calendar

Welcome to Advent Season 2024!!  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. 

Every year I feature a different Advent calendar and I've been doing this since 2016.  This year, I am actually featuring two different calendars and this is the second one. (click HERE to view Day8 of the Mini Advent Calendar).  

There are so many Bible verses talking about Jesus Christ being the light, that's why I am calling this calendar:

"Jesus is the Lighthouse"

A lighthouse guides mariners safely to their destination - just like Jesus (who is the Light of the world) guides us to eternal life.

 

Today is December 8th and I am opening Box#8

Inside we find:

"The Lord is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?" 

Psalm 27:1

Interesting fact:  Did you know that Michigan is the state with the most lighthouses??  (Maine is a close second).
