Second Monday in Advent

You can find the "Following the Star" Advent Devotionals here.

There is a verse in the Bible that talks about God's kindness leading to repentance. It's interesting that the message that John is supposed to preach to get people ready for the Lord's coming is forgiveness of sins. Not hellfire. Not condemnation. When we hear John say, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand," it is not a threat, it is an invitation to participate in a new way of life made possible because of the forgiveness of sins.
