The North American Baptist Conference is once again sharing a series of Advent devotionals for the 2025 season of Advent. They recently shared:
Advent is a season of looking back while looking forward. We remember the birth of Jesus – and all that led up to it and came after – which took place during this period when the people of Israel were waiting expectantly for the arrival (advent) of the Messiah. Today, we look ahead to the second coming, or arrival, of Christ, when he will usher in the fullness of his Kingdom and bring full restoration to all creation.
Both backward and forward. One eye on the past while the other remains here in the present pointed toward the future.
With this duality in mind, starting tomorrow, churches and individuals across the NAB will unite as one through a series of Advent devotionals, looking both backward – seeing how God became like a child for our sake – and toward the present and future – examining how Jesus calls us to become like children so that we might enter into his Kingdom in preparation for his return.
May this Advent season, and these devotionals, help you follow ever more closely in the footsteps of our savior as you seek to become like a child.
