God the Father (346)
  1. Advent draws us to the Lord who comes. We might even say that Advent really does begin in creation as the Father through His Eternal Word breathes His Spirit over the depths of darkness and calls into existence that the culmination of things that are not.
  2. In many ways [this text] brings to mind Judgement Day and the separation of the sheep from the goats when Christ the King comes to take His treasured possession home to be with Him in the courts of everlasting life.
  3. Through the means of grace, Christ grants us a share in all the blessings of this ancient hope.
  4. We were lost. We didn’t know where we were going or which way to turn. We had been driving around in circles for hours with nothing to show for it. And now we weren’t sure how to find our way home - and losing hope by the minute.
  5. A new life in Christ Jesus is our hope. Not only that, Jesus is our access to God.
  6. Like the younger son, we can return to our Father every time our sinful hearts rebel against him. Like the older brother, we can complain and lament to our Father without fear of being destroyed.
  7. When it comes to confessing the truth of the Christian faith, Christians are given the words. We don’t have to formulate them ourselves.
  8. Jesus gave His disciples the Lord’s Prayer as a gift. It’s really our prayer when you think about it.
  9. Chad and Daniel continue discussing Joshua’s interaction with the Commander of the Lord’s army and why this is certainly Jesus.
  10. We want to be kind, gentle, and cheerful to others, but we’ve got to protect ourselves from getting hurt.
  11. As our first parents had a bond with the animals, as Noah had animals with him in the reboot of creation after the flood, so after this old creation comes to an end, we will enjoy a new creation that includes animals.
  12. Stop and be enveloped by the unending grace of Christ and his beautiful teachings that touch every corner of life.
