King of Kings: An Advent Plan by New Life ChurchSample

Have you ever noticed that Jesus was a refugee? His family had to flee a terrifying king and take refuge in the land of Egypt. In fact, Christ experienced a lot of notable situations very early on in His life that mirror many different circumstances we as humanity face. He was humbly born in a stable under less than ideal conditions. Because of the visits from the shepherds and the magi, He was acquainted with both those on the social and economic fringes and the elite. As a child dependent on Mary and Joseph to care for Him, Jesus experienced vulnerability and the limitations of infancy. 

Jesus came to identify with humanity’s struggles and trials—to bear our pain in holiness. He took on our sins and our struggles and conquered their power at the cross. He has come unto us. Here on this beautiful and broken earth, a child was born and a Savior came to rescue us. God’s promise of salvation is fulfilled and we can rejoice in the precious gift of heaven that reconciled the earth to its Creator! We pray that this Christmas is full of joy and wonder for you. Celebrating this season with you will always be a glimpse into heaven and we’re so thankful we get to live this life with you.
