Week Three: December 17-23 Advent Theme: Law Before Moses came down from the mountain of fire and smoke with the 10 Commandments, the Law of god, Israel saw the power and authority of God plainly in the devastating plagues against the people and the gods of Egypt. It was a clear declaration that Israel’s God was the One True God. On this third Sunday of Advent, we light a candle to honor the law of God. In the law, the Father expresses his heart of righteousness and his holy authority to rule. The Apostle Paul writes that Jesus Christ “being born in the likeness of men… humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even on a cross.” In his life, Jesus perfectly embodies the heart of the Father and fulfills the law, and in his death and resurrection, he triumphs over death and now reigns as the One True God and Savior of all.
So much to ponder this morning on this 3rd Sunday of Advent! So thankful Jesus humbled Himself to come to earth because He loved us so very very much. We are truly blessed to be His children! Happy Sunday!
