Christmas marks the awe-inspiring moment when eternity stepped into time; God’s presence invaded the human story in the most profound way. Just as "He has helped His servant Israel," He comes to us now, inviting us to believe in His power to redeem, renew, and fulfill our deepest longings. Ecclesiastes tells us that God has “set eternity in the human heart.” This season, may we open our hearts to the promise of Emmanuel—God with us—and trust in what He offers: life and hope that reaches beyond time, carrying us into eternity with Him.

About this Plan
This 25-day Advent devotional was created from CornerstoneSF's video devotional series, Rise & Shine. With videos every day except Sundays, this devotional invites us to open our hearts and prepare for the coming of Jesus. It will begin broadly and then focus deeply on Mary’s experience, highlighting how her humility, faith, and openness paved the way for Christ’s birth. Through her example, we are encouraged to cultivate a heart ready to receive the Savior, embracing His love and presence in our lives.
