Your challenge for today is to write a one paragraph answer to the question,

“Why do you have so much hope?" 

This paragraph is the answer to the questions "why are you a Christian” or “why do you live so differently” or “why don’t you do what everyone does” etc.
This is a one paragraph testimony / telling of why you have faith, hope and love in Jesus Christ. 

Take a picture of your paragraph (write it on an index card) and post it on your instagram, Facebook and/or twitter accounts. Then pray God would help you to have some good conversations! 
(don’t forget to use the hashtag #AdventJourney)

EXTRA

GOD’S ASTOUNDING and radical intervention in our human history cannot be contained
in the tame and timid displays of Christmas lights, catchy slogans, or the exchange of gifts. Advent confronts us once again
with God’s unparalleled effort to communicate the message that all humankind is embraced and held close by a God of love.
Jesus Christ has come, is present with us, and will come again in final victory when all darkness, pain, and evil will be no more.
In Advent we begin again to try to make plainthe wonderful truth of the most extraordinary good news the world
has ever heard. Soon we will join the angelic chorus in singing, “Christ the Savior is born.”
