Scripture (1598)
  1. Not only is Jesus the New David, He is also the New Temple—the House and Kingdom! This is the throne that is everlasting.
  2. The mystery has been revealed! The mystery, of course, is the Gospel!
  3. At the center of this gospel reading is a conversation. It was of the memorable variety. It involved a peasant girl from a small town and a mighty messenger from God.
  4. This is Christmas. It is Jesus becoming all sin from generation to generation.
  5. It turns out the family trait of not being able to wait runs deep and wide in the family of God. We do foolish things while we wait for promises to be fulfilled.
  6. It is more blessed to give than to receive?
  7. Dr. Paulson discusses contemporary rejections of Martin Luther.
  8. Spear throwing and foreskin gathering.
  9. Whatever else may come, however worse it may get, the light has come and will come again.
  10. These exhortations are dependent upon the accomplishments of Christ in the first Advent, with the upshot that upon the final advent the faithful will stand “sanctified completely” and “blameless.” Be mindful of both, neglect neither.
  11. The words the Anointed One uses to describe His reign are very familiar ones: Preach to the afflicted, bind up the broken hearted, liberty for the captives, opening eyes, comfort and provide for those who mourn.
  12. Many of us have experienced what it feels like to wait and to remain patient this year. This Advent, we are reminded of how the saints before us experienced similar feelings of uncertainty, need, and hopeful expectation as they awaited - both faithfully and unfaithfully - for God to fulfill his promises.
