An Ancestral Advent Day 18: The Son of Jehoshaphat.
Stand. Not fight. Just stand. Stand and trust. Stand and praise. Stand and watch God apply the salvation of Christ to your specific fears. Stand strong in the Lord Jesus and in the power of his might as you wait for his return in victory.
An Ancestral Advent Day 17: The Son of Asaph and Amos.
God hasn’t left us alone in our waiting for the advent of Christ. He has left us with his inspired word.
An Ancestral Advent Day 16: The Son of Nathan.
Like Nathan before him, it is the name of Jesus that reminds us of all of our sin and all of God’s grace at the same time. It is the name of Jesus that will save his family, you and me, from our sins.
An Ancestral Advent Day 15: The Son of Solomon.
Christian, how are you spending your advent season? The king is coming. Christ will return. Are you making way for him to be your king? Or, like Solomon, are you just a wind chasing fool, trying to rule your own destiny and find your own meaning?
An Ancestral Advent Day 14: The Son of Bathsheba.
What about us? Where does our shame go? Where does our trauma find its resting place? Is it in the promise of another child who was born to die so that all of us Bathshebas and all of us Davids might live?
To Live is Christ
