The Eyes of Advent
The Eyes of Advent
Christmas 2022
People view Christmas in so many ways today. For some, they view it with stress and duress. For others, it's time spent with family and friends. And for others, it offers a few days off from the busyness of life.
In this series that we are calling, The Eyes of Advent, we look at the coming of Jesus through the eyes of those who were a part of it then - the wise men, Herod, Joseph and Mary. And then on Christmas Eve, we look back at the coming of Jesus through our eyes today as we anticipate His coming again.
