Pastor James Cottier, Fountain City Church. Traditionally, the season of Advent has been a time of helping us all prepare.  It is a season of preparation.  Christ has come to us, and Christ will come to us, and Advent is a time of preparing to meet him.  What does it mean to be ready to meet Christ?  Is there something required of me for when I do meet Christ?  How should I prepare so that I am ready?
