Advent Hope: The Revealing of Righteousness

- A Darkness that Makes Hope Necessary

- Light that Makes Hope Possible

For Further Reflection:

1) Advent often highlights the contrast between darkness and light. Where do you feel the “darkness” of the world—or your own heart—most clearly in this season? Why do you think people are especially hungry for hope during Advent

and Christmas?

2) Why is receiving a gift (like righteousness) sometimes harder than earning something How does Advent re-teach us the posture of receiving?

3) How do redemption and propitiation deepen your understanding of what Jesus came to accomplish, even as a baby in a manger? What do these words teach us

about the seriousness of sin—and the depth of God’s love?

4) How does Christ’s finished work give you hope, assurance, or peace in this season?

5) Who in your life needs hope this Advent season? Who else do you need to remember is also a fallen sinner in need

of the grace of God like yourself?
