Advent is the season in which we prepare to welcome Jesus into the world. It’s a season of hope – the light has not come, but it is coming into the world. It’s the time of day just before the sun peeks over the horizon. As we anticipate Jesus’ birth, we come to realize that God’s story didn’t end at Christmas – it was only beginning. And the story is still being told today – a story of love, hope and promise.
What does it mean to say that God is still telling the great story of love through us?

Repentance
The Atonement means that GOd has removed every obstacle between us and a restored relationship with God. But that shouldn't lead us to a passive faith. When we understand the destructive power of sin and the stronger power of God to rescue us from that sin, the appropriate response is Repentance! We should turn away from our Sin, from the destructive paths we've chosen for ourselves and follow Jesus back to God's Way.
