Advent - We Have Found The King

29 天中的第 4 天

We have hope knowing that the Lord gave us a sign that Mary would conceive and have a Son named Immanuel, meaning God with us.

This summer I was able to go and see where Christ was born. Thinking back to that very moment is something I will never forget. I remember being overwhelmed with emotions as I was walking down into the grotto seeing this very spot where our hope of the world was born! The Church of the Nativity marks the spot today, there in Bethlehem. There were people everywhere coming to see this special place that is so important to our Christian faith.

O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth

While down in the grotto we sang with just our voices O Holy Night. Filled with so much emotion the words were hard to get out, knowing in this very cave Christ was brought into this world for me, for you, for all of us! The sweet sound of everyone’s voices filling the small cave worshiping our God, was truly a wonderful experience that will make Christmas a little more special for the years to come with these memories.

Coming out of the grotto our, Christian guide spoke of Matthew 2:11. This was the place the wise men came to see this child in the house to worship him and bring him gifts. These two places are one in the same. The house was just above where He was born in the basement cave of the house where the animals were kept. He came to change the world in a lowly manger found in the grotto, below the house. People were flocking to see this child then, and people are still today flocking to see this important place where He was born.

As we celebrate the Advent season may we be reminded of those feelings that were stirred when Christ came for us on that Holy night long ago. Let’s remember our hope that is found in Christ. Let’s remember this Advent season there are others who are wanting to flock to a hope found only through Christ, and what better time than now when we celebrate the birth of our Savior!
