I didn't quite know how I would put it all into perspective about forgiveness until we approached time in worship for communion and T leaned over and said - "Can you take it today? I didn't schedule anyone"
The Supper is a favorite time for me and I love to speak about it.
Communion is a forgiveness feast and this beginning of Advent, I got to kick off the salvation story with the meaning of why the baby came - to make a way for us to be fit for Heaven.
Every week we get to celebrate that -- But what better time than the first day of Advent to remember anew that for the baby in the manager - there was still the cross looming in the distance.
FORGIVENESS: being set right - having all our sins and mistakes and bad decisions and down right selfish, self-serving acts wiped clean -- totally forgotten by God so that when HE looks at us HE sees
JESUS.
