b"Yes, it is Christmas time again! But ironically what was once a time to celebrate the birth of the Savior and God\\u2019s ultimate expression of love for the world has somehow turned into a season of stress, financial crunches, and shopping lists. Sadly though, when it's all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose.Is this really what God? Almost 2000 years ago the God of heaven and earth changed both human history and future when he crashed into the present. He changed the world with a revolutionary love full of promise and hope. But this revolutionary love wasn\\u2019t in the form of a word or statement. It was in the form of a baby -- a fully human, fully God -- newborn baby. It was the Advent (the coming or arrival) of a new world; a world where sin, brokenness, pain, and death would no longer reign and dictate the human heart. It was the Advent of a new order of life; one of love, grace, justice, compassion and generosity. This Advent was a divine conspiracy that fully proclaimed His divine mission. It was God\\u2019s subtle way of putting skin on love, grace, compassion and generosity that results in the salvation of humanity and redemption of all creation. It was Jesus the Lord, Savior and King. It is through Jesus that God is inviting humanity to join in His Advent Conspiracy and a conspiring life that deals out to hope to the hopeless, love to the unloved and generosity for those in need."
