Week 2 - "Mighty God"
December 8, 2024
optimizing
Throughout church history, Advent has been a season of anticipation, anticipating the birth of Jesus and his return. It’s an opportunity to remind ourselves that Jesus entered our world with all its troubles. In a time when many of us want to escape the worries of this world, Jesus enters it. A holy God chooses to take on our flesh, relationships, problems, temptations, and troubles.
Isaiah’s announcement of Jesus’ arrival includes the description “Mighty God.” But therein lies a tension: waiting for His mightiness to be displayed in our circumstances. It’s not about believing that God can act. The tension is, when will He? The ancient people reading Isaiah’s prophet felt it. And, we feel it, too.
