Mark 1:1–3 (ESV)
1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, 3the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,"
During this Advent season, my family has been taking advantage of this special time of year to focus on preparing our hearts for the arrival of Christmas morning. We have never really observed Advent before (at least during the whole season), and I have found it an awesome opportunity to have conversations like what Deuteronomy 6 calls us to.

Christmas is such a wonderful time to creatively teach our children and the students of our church the gospel story, which starts to come to culmination at the birth of Christ, but began when God said “Let there be light”. May your Christmas be filled with joy and conversations that lead to the cradle and the cross.
