DAY#13 - Jesus is the Lighthouse Advent Calendar

AdventLighthouse

DAY#13 - Jesus is the Lighthouse Advent Calendar

Welcome to Advent Season 2024!!  Advent is the season that begins the celebration of Jesus' coming to earth.  The word "Advent" is derived from the Latin word "adventus" which means "coming".  During Advent, Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah Jesus but it is also a time to prepare for the second coming of Christ. 

Every year I feature a different Advent calendar and I've been doing this since 2016.  This year, I am actually featuring two different calendars and this is the second one. (click HERE to view Day12 of the Mini Advent Calendar).  
There are so many Bible verses talking about Jesus Christ being the light, that's why I am calling this calendar:
"Jesus is the Lighthouse"

A lighthouse guides mariners safely to their destination - just like Jesus (who is the Light of the world) guides us to eternal life.

Luke 11:33

Interesting fact:  Did you know that Michigan is the state with the most lighthouses??  (Maine is a close second).

Welcome to Advent Season 2024!!  Advent is the season that begins the celebration of Jesus' coming to earth.  The word "Advent" is derived from the Latin word "adventus" which means "coming".  During Advent, Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah Jesus but it is also a time to prepare for the second coming of Christ. 

Every year I feature a different Advent calendar and I've been doing this since 2016.  This year, I am actually featuring two different calendars.  I originally had planned on only showcasing one but then my dearest Aunt gave me a mini Advent Calendar in the form of a card!!!!  It's so cute - I couldn't resist featuring this one also. (I will post the Mini Advent Calendar at midnight each evening and then the second one at noon each day until Christmas Eve)
(click HERE to view Day#12 of the "Jesus is the Lighthouse" Advent Calendar)  

Now, everything on this card does not focus on the birth of Jesus Christ but I have transformed it to be completely Christian by including a Bible verse each day - I'm calling it:
"The Importance of Small Things"

In the picture below I placed a nickle on the card/calendar so that you will be able to gauge the actual smallness of the card:

When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?”  He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
Philip answered him, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!”
Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, “Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there).  Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.
John 6:5-12

Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.  While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.
John 12:35-36

Santa - You will notice that I put an X over him because he is NOT the reason for Christmas and the symbol of his fictional character is actually (in my opinion) evil. 

We learned that Jesus' birthday is most likely NOT December 25th - some Biblical scholars believe that it was in April and others believe it was in September (see post below)

StrangeStuff2 

December 25th is actually the birthday of Nimrod.  Even though the "earthly powers-that-be" may have manipulated our calendar - "Christmas" is when we celebrate Jesus Christ's birth NOT Nimrod's.  Our Heavenly Father knows our heart  - the date is not the most important part - it is the fact that we worship the true Messiah, the one and only Savior Jesus Christ/Yahshua.

"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.  Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.  But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God."
John 3:19-21
