      While the Scriptures read each day pertain to the usual Advent focus for each week, there is little food for thought. The "reading" is too brief, and the questions/answers are too simplistic.

    Foreword

    By David Platt

    When we consider the mystery and majesty of God during Christmas, we realize that the birth of His Son and our Savior did not randomly appear on the pages of human history. Instead, over a period spanning more than a thousand years, God provided hundreds of prophecies concerning the coming of Christ, and on that evening in a stable in Bethlehem, the heavens and the earth witnessed the culmination of those promises from God to His people.

    In light of these prophecies, it is extremely helpful for followers of Christ to pause before Christmas and consider the promises that preceded Christ’s birth.
