Advent , seeking the lost

“The word advent means “coming.” In this season of the year, we focus on the meaning of the coming of the Son of God into the world.

 

“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:10, NIV

“The word advent means “coming.” In this season of the year, we focus on the meaning of the coming of the Son of God into the world.
