This sermon for the fourth Sunday in Advent reads Deuteronomy 18 and traces the story from creation and the fall to Israel as the new Adam, showing humanity's need for a true mediator. It presents Jesus as the promised prophet like Moses who descends to bring us back into God's presence and restore what was lost.

The message emphasizes the sacraments and the altar as the place where heaven meets earth, inviting listeners to come, feast, and be made whole in Christ.
