The Need for Bold Action
(c)2004 by International LLL 

Introduction

God acts boldly! This Advent we turn our hearts and minds toward God's bold action of sending His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as Savior. Adam and Eve boldly stepped out of God's will and sin became a reality. We would have been separated from God forever had He not boldly stepped forward to reconcile us to Himself.

It is God's action, not ours, that draws our focus during these heart-preparation and light-reflection days of Advent through Epiphany:

  • Week One (November 28 through December 4) highlights The Need for Bold Action as our focus is drawn to our own sinfulness.
  • Week Two (December 5 through 11) highlights God's Historical Boldness as our eyes are turned toward God's Old Testament dealings with sin.
  • Week Three (December 12 through 18) highlights how God Prepares for Bold Action with an emphasis on the prophecies of the Savior.
  • Week Four (December 19 through 25) highlights God's Bold Action with a closer look at God's love come down to us through the birth of our Savior.
  • Week Five (December 26 through January 1) highlights Responding to God's Bold Action as attention is given to the nature of our life in Christ.
  • Week Six (January 2 through 6) highlights the importance of Making God's Actions Known 'with great boldness' through witness and outreach.

Let us go forth in boldness ... so the whole world might know of His bold love for us!
