2024-12-08 - Advent Week 2: The First Bethlehem Story

from Living Hope Church, Woodland · host Living Hope Church

For the second week of Advent we light the Bethlehem Candle, or the Candle of Love. Guest Speaker Dr. Wayne House revisits the first story in the Bible that takes place in Bethlehem, which happens to also be one of the greatest love stories in the Bible: the story of Ruth and Boaz. God is barely mentioned in the book of Ruth, but the story of Ruth shows how God orchestrated the lives of two otherwise inconsequential people, Ruth and Boaz, to begin the family from whom David and Jesus would eventually come, and to foreshadow His plan of redemption for the whole world. In the same way, though we do not see God acting through our daily lives and mundane choices, God is quietly moving the world toward Jesus' second coming, just as carefully as He prepared the way for the first.
