Stirred By The Scriptures

The sermon you didn’t hear

I am sitting in my study at home and it is Sunday morning! No, I am not playing hooky - I am watching the snow fall since services were cancelled. My message is all written and laying on the desk. I decided I would bring it to you, over the next several days, via my blog. The title is Advent Conspiracy - 2 ... The sequel.

When the prophets spoke the words of God, they looked into the future where time often blurred. It is similar to when we look at a distant mountain range and see two mountain peaks. From our vantage point they look like they are right next to each other and we are unable to tell that there could be vast distances between them. That is how it was for Isaiah, he knew the Messiah was coming he didn’t know when and couldn’t see there were actually two advents. How has God called us to live between the two advents of Jesus? We will begin looking tomorrow.
