“For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” Luke 19:10 NLT
This time of year we are accustomed to seeing various presentations of the advent calendar. The counting down of days to Christmas day has been a tradition for many years. We have designer calendars for our special interests or hobbies. We have chocolate candy calendars for chocolate lovers of all ages. We have cheese calendars for those who have a hankering for cheese, and we even have whiskey calendars, which I am not recommending, just making a point.
And the point is; what are you counting down to? What is at the end of your advent calendar? Jesus states clearly that the day each of us is counting down to in our own way is the day He came to earth, whether you believe it or not. He came into this world “to seek and save those who are lost.” This includes all of us who are counting down to that one day of excitement. He came to give us more than peace on earth one night a year, but to give us an inner peace of knowing Him in this life. He came to give us more than an enjoyable day with friends and family on Christmas, but to give us everlasting enjoyment with Him in eternity through the Salvation He offers through His death, burial, and resurrection. So what are you counting down to? Here’s a little hint-you don’t need to wait until December 25th to enjoy the Savior of Christmas!
