12/4, First Friday of Advent
Behold, the Lord will come
descending with splendor to visit his
people with peace,
and he will bestow on them eternal life.
Right here in three sentences we have
the true importance of Advent and Christmas.
We are waiting for Christ's coming.
Both His first coming on Christmas, and His second coming. But why is Christmas really important? Being born is not something in itself
especially important. By that I mean all
humans (who do not die before birth) are born.
What is truly important is His death. He died to grant us eternal life. So while we prepare to celebrate the Birth of
Jesus, we should have at least a small remembrance that we are celebrating the
Birth of He Who Saves Us So That We May Have Eternal Life.
