Day
1 – An Introduction
Reading:
Genesis 1:1-4
The
first door on the Advent Calendar, the flash of excitement. the
countdown has begun. What's behind the door? The answer is, something
that looks like a Blue Marble. What is this? Why is this? What's it
got to do with Christmas? Is it maybe a decoration, a bauble to hang
on a tree? But then you realise that the swirling pattern is not a
random one; the shapes are not abstract, but familiar. There, in
front of you, shining against the blackness, is our planet; our home.
How strange, how fragile it looks! And yet, how important a place it
seems to us! Important too, to the one that called it into being. The
story of Advent is one for the whole Earth.
Prayer
Point: That the whole Earth will come to know the Good News of
Christ's Advent.
