Born the King: An Advent Devotional

by The Foundry Publishing (Publisher), Albert Hung, Christine Youn Hung

"As we gaze upon the face of baby Jesus, we are often moved by the peace and stillness of the nativity scene. Is it possible that we have settled for a version of the birth of Christ that merely soothes and comforts us? What does it mean that the Creator of the universe was born an infant in a manger? How do we prepare our hearts to receive this child as the King of all kings?


More than just a cozy affair, the season of Advent should disrupt our lives as we pause to reframe the story of Christ’s birth in a way that compels us to bend a knee to his lordship in every part of our lives. Born the King is a four-week devotional journey that weaves together Scripture, stories, prayer, and interactive moments that draw us to engage with a Savior whose majesty proclaims the coming of the kingdom."

Great opportunity for reflection in the days leading up to Christmas. Well done authors, and well done Foundry.

I really enjoyed and appreciated this advent study. There was a lot more focus on how Christ’s work in us throughout our lives and advent season flows out to shine hope on our neighbour than studies I’ve done before. At one point I wished there was more focus in Jesus himself, but as Christmas drew closer there was a shift in focus to Jesus and also reflection on his personal impact on me. Recommend!
