Advent (Dec 18)

Hello, I’m Pastor John Harris. Thanks for joining me for today’s Advent devotional.
Advent reminds us why we wait. We remember that Jesus came… and we set our hearts on the fact that He’s coming again. Hope with direction. Expectation with purpose.
Today’s verse is John 1:14:
“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
This is the miracle at the center of everything. God didn’t stay distant. He stepped into our world. He took on flesh. He walked with us. He showed us exactly who the Father is—grace and truth, side by side, perfectly held together in one Person.
And if Jesus carries both grace and truth, we should too.
So here’s the challenge for this week:
Let grace and truth shape your words. Be honest, but gentle. Be clear, but kind. Let the way you speak reflect the One who spoke life into the world by becoming one of us.

I’m grateful you’re here, and I’m looking forward to the next one with you. See you tomorrow.
