Messages That Matter By Dr. Andrew Corbett

The Advent season is usually regarded as the season leading up to Christmas, but it literally means 'the appearing' of the incarnated God. The early Christians used spend the 12 days leading up to December 25th fasting each day until 3PM (except on Sunday because that was a day for celebrating Christ's resurrection), and then for Christmas Day and the following 12 days they 'feasted' in celebration of the incarnation of Christ. This instalment is the first in the Advent series, "Where is He Who Is Born The King?"
