Christ is the Wisdom of God, and when He came to the earth 2,000 years ago, we got see and behold God's Wisdom in the flesh. But the leading up to His birth, and the result of His life, is what makes His appearance, His Advent, so awe-inspiring and the ultimate display of His Wisdom.
ABOUT THIS SERIES:For these four weeks of Advent, we look at the four main "chapters" of redemptive history, and how God's Wisdom is seen in these and, collectively, how they display His Wisdom in ultimate fashion. We will look at Creation, the Fall, Redemption, and the Restoration, and how His Wisdom weaves in and through all of them to create the most incredulous, miraculous story ever conceived.
This coming day when Jesus returns, and God's kingdom comes sounds amazing and it will be. It sounds miraculous, and it is. However, God is a Holy God. Our Father is perfect in everything, in every way, always. When he comes near sin, evil, unrighteousness…it is all consumed. And we are not holy! For those who fear Him, though, we do not stand alone. Our advocate, our mediator, our savior opens the palms of his hands to reveal his wounds. The wounds we deserved. And the Judge will declare us innocent. And we respond to this certainty of future grace with righteous living, renewed eyes for the lost, endurance to live in the here and now, and hope for the coming day of the Lord
