This week, Chris began our Advent series, The King Has Come. He taught on Joy. In Luke 2, the angels brought good news that would bring joy to all people. They told a story similar to one that had been told before but made the joy accessible to everyone and brought it first to the lowest of the low.
This season, we look back and remember when the King first came—a baby in a manger, born to redeem the world. As we reflect on that first coming, we’re reminded of our place in His story now: living in the tension of experiencing His Kingdom in part, but not yet in full. So, as we celebrate what has already happened, let’s prepare our homes and our hearts in anticipation of the King coming.
