Advent means “coming”. Some people during the month of December use an Advent calendar starting the 4th Sunday before Christmas to mark the Christmas season. This Advent season’s purpose it to be a mindful time anticipating and preparing one’s heart for the “the coming” and the powerful meaning of Christmas -- a baby born of the lowliest places; who would take on the ultimate work of salvation for man on the Cross. In the Bible’s book of John we find we find John (the author) writing his testimony and proclaiming the life of Jesus. “The Word [Jesus] became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (1:14)
