God With Us: 25 Advent Reflections

by J. John

A commemoration of something as big as Christmas – the infinite God becoming a few pounds of human flesh – could not be allowed to just happen; people needed to be prepared for it. In Advent Christians celebrate Christ’s coming in three ways. First, we celebrate his coming in history; secondly, we look to his coming again in the future; and thirdly, we look to his coming into our lives.Advent looks forward to the world being utterly changed in every way by the coming of Christ. As you follow these reflections on Advent may your life be transformed in a similar way.

Wonderful Bible Study of Advent!

This was a joy to read and ponder throughout Advent. It has made me think about a lot of things and would absolutely recommend it for New Christians and Older ones too! Such a great read!

beautifully written!

I loved this advent devotional for its deep dive into the marginalized and often overlooked people in the nativity story. Each day is thought provoking and relevant. It is just the right length as well.

Great Advent devotional - short daily readings with prayer and a question to ponder at the end of each day.

LOVED reading this through Advent, a simple but thought provoking daily devotional through Advent which is also a great gift to give to others, especially seekers.

Wonderfully told.

What an inspirational reading day⁹ by day of Advent. Each morning I looked forward to a new reading. I highly recommend that you get your copy for the next advent.

Inspiring reading for Advent

J John takes us through the Christmas narrative pausing on all the key events and participants. It is insightful and inspiring and thoroughly recommended to help us focus in Advent on the wonder of Immanuel, God with us.

It cost many people dear to participate in this amazing, life changing event for all who would hear. The cost may have been high but I am certain everyone would say, ‘It was worth.’
