Advent 2020: Behold
The greatest salvation.
The spiritual discipline of Advent provides a means to increase our adoration and enjoyment in Jesus. Within it is the potential to open our hearts to a greater understanding of all He did, does, and will do.
Christmas Eve is one week away. Today, test your heart and spirit. Rate your adoration and joy of Jesus on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the high mark). No matter where you find yourself, take steps of faith to increase your capacity for joyful adoration.
Remember the steps on this spiritual journey:
Meditate on your need for Jesus.
Examine your heart and life in Christ.
Build anticipation for His return.
Be in His Word.
Exercise your faith.
Read December 17: The Greatest Salvation Imaginable

Reflect.
What did you read in today’s devotional to use as fuel for finding joy in Jesus?
Christ bore our sins in his own body when he died. He took our judgment. He canceled our guilt. And that means our sins are gone.
John Piper, Joy to the World
God took on flesh so He could take on our sins and then… forget about them. For those who believe, this is the gift of Christmas: The Greatest Salvation!
If there was ever a reason to anticipate the celebration of Jesus with great joy, this is it.
What does this truth stir in your heart?
Do you have sins (past or present or both) you would love to be gone?
What does your heart’s response reveal about your understanding of who you are? who God is? the great gift He offers?
Ask God to prepare your heart to receive the greatest gift He has to give.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
Romans 3:1-2 ESV
