Advent Calendar - Day 1 — The Promise Begins

“Where hope first entered the world.

Instructions for Reflection Application:

Read (Genesis 3:15) slowly and thank God for promising rescue in the middle of sin and failure. Ask the Lord to show you one area where you still listen to the serpent’s lies. Pray for the strength to walk as someone who has truly been set free.

Brief Summary:

Genesis 3:15 is the first prophecy of the coming Messiah. God declares that a future “Seed” from the woman will crush the serpent’s head, signaling ultimate victory over sin, Satan, and death. It is the very first whisper of Christmas—hope spoken into the darkness of the Fall.
