#94: Advent: The Lord is coming!

We'll enjoy together God's word about the One who is the Word of God: straight Scripture telling of the birth of Christ. We are just enjoying Jesus in all His simple, glorious, swaddled beauty. Because the story of the Son of Man and Son of God is the story of grace. Because grace is the person of Jesus,  everything He does is grace. Grace, grace, it is all grace.   We will revisit a well-worn story of a God who loves nearness with us, and whose hallmark and name bear His With-ness. A story that started in the garden and ends in eternity. A story of a God who has taken the form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, AND who put on flesh and dwelt among us. A story of the infinite turned infant.  A story of a God whose kingdom has come, is here now, and will be forever. A story of 400 years of silence broken by the cries of a baby. A story of a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills and started His life in the trough of cows. This is our King!  This is the word of the Lord  Our readings are from Isaiah 7:14, 9:2-7, 11:1-5, 53:2-7, and 28:16 in the American Standard Version: Upcoming Advent Episodes Next week in Episode #95, we'll read about how Joseph learned of Mary's pregnancy and the angel's announcement to Mary. In the third and final week, in Episode #96, we'll read about the shepherds and the wise men.    Key Quotes Jesus' birth story is the story of the infinite turned infant.
