Advent Devotional
Today's Lyric, "O come, O Key of David, come and open wide our heavenly home."
I loved this part, "As Key of David, Jesus is the most crucial key to our existence as God's beloved sons and daughters. He is the key that closes doors on sin and death and opens doors that lead us to freedom and new life."
I pray that our hearts throughout this Advent season are opened to Christ and the true meaning of Christmas.
