And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14

After the Shepherds found Jesus, the Word says they rejoiced with great joy! They knew this news wasn't just for them, so they went and told everyone what they had seen and heard. People were amazed by what the Shepherds told them, but I wonder if some didn't believe it? They hadn't seen it after all. In the same way, we all have to come to this question ourselves: Do we believe in Jesus? Do we believe that He is the Son of God? I pray that we all have encounters that give us our own personal witness of Jesus. I pray that we would be willing to go into our neighborhoods with the wonderful news that God is with us! Jesus wants to lead, help, and heal us through this journey of life.

 

Camp Deerpark would like to celebrate the coming of Jesus with your this advent season! Each day until Christmas, we'll send out a photo, verse, and short devotional. If you're not on the list, you can sign up here or check an archive of previous days. If you feel inspired, please share this with a friend or family member.
