The Kid: An Advent Devotional for High SchoolersSample

Think back to the first Christmas. Imagine being Joseph, engaged to Mary, who then tells him she is pregnant with the Son of God. Naturally, Joseph was afraid, confused, and overwhelmed, considering ending the engagement. Amid his fears, God provided comfort and hope, sending an angel in a dream to reassure Joseph to take Mary as his wife, revealing a greater plan. God's presence changed Joseph's perspective. We all face challenging circumstances, but faith in Jesus can transform our response. Jesus is constant, offering comfort and hope. Just as God reassured Joseph, we can trust He will do the same for us.

Remember, whatever challenges you face this Christmas season, Jesus is with you!
