Advent (Dec 15)

Hi, I’m Pastor John Harris. Thanks for joining me for this Advent devotional. Advent is simply the season when we slow down and remember that Jesus came, and we look forward to the day He comes again. It’s anticipation that shapes how we live right now.
Today’s verse is Luke 2:11:
“Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord.”
God doesn’t just announce a birth—He announces a rescue. The Savior has come for you. Not far-off. Not theoretical. Personal. Present. Real.
And He is Messiah. He is Lord. The One who holds authority over everything—including the things that weigh on you today.
Christmas isn’t just nostalgic warmth; it’s God stepping into our world to save us. So here’s today’s practice: take one practical worry—just one—and hand it over to the Savior who came for you. Say it out loud if you need to. Let the Lord who entered the world enter that space too.
If you’ve missed any of the devotionals in this December series, you can review all the previous entries at johnmarkharris.net. I’d love for you to catch up and keep walking through this season with us.
Thanks for watching today. I’m grateful you’re here, and I’m looking forward to the next one.
