Come and see… prophecy being fulfilled in the Christ (Messiah). Come and see… the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Come and see… the long awaited promise within the O.T. (Tanakh) has come: God with us.

We are reminded that the church is not God’s mission, but God’s mission has a church, a people through whom He continues to reveal Himself to the world. A Jesus-shaped church is formed as we see Jesus clearly and respond to His call: to follow Him, reflect His light, embody His righteousness, and live as people defined by His presence; God with us.

In one sentence God reveals Jesus’ identity and anoints him for mission. What the voice of God speaks over Jesus at His baptism defines every part of his life and ministry- he is God with us. That truth isn’t for this story alone- it informs our identity and calling as followers of Jesus and sends us back into the world with the foundation of a Jesus-shaped church: God with us.

Stand in the doorway between memory and hope. Looking back w/o living there, and look forward w/o forgetting God’s faithfulness. Looking forward to the year ahead and where God may be calling us.

Looking back and celebrating the ways God has shown up in the past helps us trust Him as we look forward to the year to come.

The word “love” is one of the sloppiest words in our language, as it primarily refers to a feeling that happens to a person. But in the New Testament, “love,” or “agape,” refers to a way of treating people that was defined by Jesus himself. It means to seek the well-being of others regardless of their response. The Messiah’s coming is ultimately an act of love—God with us, God for us- regardless of how we receive Him.

The hymn envisions unity, redemption, and divine mercy. Love is not abstract here; it’s incarnate in the coming of Christ. We live now in the reality of His love and long for the day when that love will fully reign—when all creation is reconciled in Christ.

We can rejoice, not because all is fulfilled yet, but because fulfillment is coming. This dynamic tension of the now and not yet is the essence of Advent… and the reality of being a Jesus-shaped church. Will we embrace the love being offered this Christmas season?
