This book was written as a devotional resource leading up to Christmas. It aligns not only with the season of Advent, but with Advent's great expectation of hope in a coming Messiah. Such hope is grounded in the Psalms and in the Law and the Prophets. It is from there that the Old Testament saints looked forward to the coming of Christ the King. And it is to there that the New Testament saints looked back to confirm and understand just what happened in Bethlehem, and ultimately at the cross on Calvary.
