Ep. 52 - Advent | The Word

We are getting into the advent season. Advent is the few weeks each year leading up to Christmas where we remember and celebrate the Lord’s coming, and we look forward to His return. It’s a time to prepare our hearts for Christmas, to really meditate on and consider just what God has done in Jesus Christ. It’s a time to wonder and marvel and stand in awe of God. So that’s what we hope to do on the podcast the next few weeks. We want to slow down and understand and wonder, with God’s help, at the miracle of what God has done at Christmas.  In the spirit of the season, if we had to put a Christmas song title on this series, it would be this— “What Child is This?” That’s what we want to slow down and consider. Who is this baby in the manger? Who is He? And why is it such a big deal?  In order to answer that question, each of the next four weeks we will be spending our time in the introduction to John’s Gospel. In John 1:1-18, the apostle John introduces us to Jesus. And he does it by giving Him three different titles, three different names, names that show us who He is. We will spend one week on each of those names, and then our last week before Christmas, we will consider how we ought to respond to who He is. **Bible study portion starts at 12:00**
