ADVENT RECOLLECTION-DEC. 2, 2018.pptx

This document contains excerpts from John 3:16-21 discussing God's love for the world and sending his son Jesus not to condemn but to save. It then discusses the three types of Advent: preparation for Jesus' promise of salvation, his ascension to heaven and second coming, and his daily presence in our lives. It provides details on the liturgical meaning and symbols of Advent and how it marks the beginning of the church calendar. It encourages internal reflection during Advent through acts like confession and prayer. The rest discusses the meaning of gifts and how we can gift others with our time, care, and presence as we prepare for Christmas.

Recollection
JOHN 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 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.
