honest advent 3, counselor + father, Andrés Pérez González

Isaiah 9:6, Hebrews 2:16-18, John 1:1-3 "For that which He has not assumed He has not healed." —Gregory of Nazianzus (4th Century Church Father). Jesus revealed as the Wonderful Counselor assumes the whole of our existence in order to heal the whole of our existence. He became human so we would know He had nothing to hide. He lived in a complicated world so He could relate to the complexity of our world. His name is God-with-us so we would know we are prized. Through the Incarnation, we find a space where we are seen, heard, known, and prized as we experience healing and move towards holistic restoration in order to discover the scandalous revelation that we are not orphans but sons and daughters of the Everlasting Father! He is forever tied to us and we are forever tied to him. We can never not be tied to him. This is our inheritance as the beloved offspring of the Maker of all things!​   GIVE: https://www.pilgrimchurch.ca/give.htmlONLINE  NOTES: https://www.pilgrimchurch.ca/2020-12-13-honest-advent-3---counselor--father.html NOTES: https://www.pilgrimchurch.ca/uploads/1/1/1/2/111299251/2020-12-13_notesdiscussion.pdf NEW LINK!
