It's time for Advent!
Did you know that Advent has been going on since the 4th century and it celebrates the "waiting" for four weeks before Christmas. This week is all about HOPE!
A couple of key scriptures for Advent:
Isaiah 11:1-2 This is the Jesse tree scripture, the promise of a savior from a nation that has been "cut down."
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him -
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord
(and it goes on to talk about the righteousness of the savior, that he will be a just judge and will bring peace and unity to people.)
Isaiah 61-1-3 The scripture Jesus reads in the temple when he claims he is the messiah. He is claiming HOPE! Advent is a time for us to claim hope too. May you be a great oak planted for God's glory and beautiful work!
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord's favor has come,
and with it, the day of God's anger against their enemies.
To all who mourn in Israel,
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
