The Names of Jesus: A daily reflection of our savior during advent

By Steph Mortimer and Sunray Books

The word "Advent" comes from the Latin adventus, meaning "coming or arrival." When the term is used by the Church, it is referring to two times: The "arrival" of Jesus Christ when he was born on the original Christmas Day. The upcoming "arrival" of Jesus Christ when, as Christians believe, he will return to judge the living and the dead. The season of Advent, is a time of preparation and waiting, not only for Christ's second coming to judge the living and the dead (2 Pet 3:11-14; 1 John 3:2-3), but also a time of celebration of Christ's first arrival at Christmas (Luke 2:1-20). In a liturgical tradition, each week of the Church year has a special prayer, called a "collect," used during Sunday worship and then used daily for the following week. Mixed into the daily scripture and reflections of the names of Jesus are collects for Advent. Pray these, or add in your own prayer each day, giving thanks to God for giving us His son. Christianity reveals that Jesus Christ is our propitiation, the One who has satisfied the Father on our behalf, so we can be forgiven of our sins and have eternal life through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. This book can be used not only for the reflection of our Savior during the time of Advent, but also as a monthly reflection to bring Jesus into our lives daily. Advent is the first season of the liturgical Church year. It lasts for four weeks leading up to Christmas Day on December 25. This date changes each year, so for simplicity, start The Names of Jesus on December 1 or following along with the church calendar.
