What is Advent?

Advent Season is the preparation for Christmas. A time where we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ.

As everybody says, it is the most wonderful time of the year because Christ will come again to live in our hearts.

Apart from the meaning of advent, its significance is to look back at the first coming of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem and to look forward for the time that He will come again.

The importance of advent does not lie on how busy we prepare for Christmas but how we see and feel the spirit of Christ and the presence of Christ in our lives amidst this ever changing world of hate and love.



This Christmas, when Christ will come, let our sight be filled with the fullness of life that God entails us to have.

As Christians, we are called to live in harmony with each other as we nurture and share the love of God in our words and deeds.
