The Fourth Sunday of Advent -- December 24 2023

This is the final Sunday of Advent, and the final DAY of Advent, all in one. The shortest week of Advent this year is just one day! Today is not only the 4th Sunday of Advent, but it is also Christmas Eve. Let's not shortchange this Sunday, though, because today we hear about the dwelling places of God. Think for a minute…if you knew where God lived, wouldn't you want to go there to visit Him? Of course you would. And you do. Every Sunday and Holy Day. What does He have to say about His dwelling place, both in the Old Testament, and in the New, where His new Ark is not a building but a person?
