The Kid: An Advent Devotional for High SchoolersSample

Jesus is the key to everything. When we’re lost, don’t know what decision to make, or aren’t sure where life is taking us, following Jesus will bring us to peace. When we become insecure, are plagued with thoughts of inadequacy, or feel helpless, Jesus reminds us that we are chosen and loved by the God who made us. When we are beaten down or exhausted, Jesus is the only thing that can revive us. He offers His strength to us so we can continue when times are hard. When we follow Him, we find a life that no one else can offer—the kind of life that only comes from walking with the Lord.

In good times and bad, we should follow Jesus’ path, reflect on and spread His truth, and strive to live the life Christ led as an example for us. So this week, think about what it might look like to do just that!
