With apologies for periodic audio issues, this is part 1 of the Advent series, "Blessed by God: A Full Life." Advent prepares us for the celebration of Christmas. The theme is based on the Christmas Eve Gospel Reading: "And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests'" (Luke 2:13-14). The blessing of God is the unmerited favor that God bestows upon us. The greatest blessing is salvation in Christ. Advent also reminds us to prepare for the glorious coming of Christ at the end of time. In the Gospel reading (cf. Luke 21:25-28, 34-36), the Lord teaches how to approach this event. We can use the same approach now during difficult situations in life. Hope is not wishful thinking, but a confident expectation that God will fulfill His promises. Hopeful people do not get consumed with panic or complacent with distractions. Hopeful people give themselves over to God in praise, knowing that our God has come to save us.
