Description
As we delve into this winter quarter and experience the hope of Advent, the Scriptures remind us of God’s faithfulness in bringing promises to fruition. From the gift of the incarnation to the gift of grace through Christ’s sacrifice, God keeps covenant and brings to pass the predictions of God’s prophets. Emmanuel: God is with us, and we are invited to be with God through intentional discipleship that holds us accountable to the teachings of Christ. We are reminded that there are different seasons in life, not all of which bring us joy. Yet, whatever we are experiencing in our present, God is with us to bring us safely into a new season of blessings. We are required to trust in God’s timing and, in the meantime, do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God—as our lives shine light upon the God who loves us all.
