This is the second message in our Advent series for 2018. This year we are allowing Jesus to tell us why he came. Then we are taking what he tells us and connecting it back to the tapestry of the Old Testament that provides the backdrop for his arrival and ministry.

In this teaching, we look at Luke 4:18, where Jesus proclaims that the Lord, "...sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives…” Then we trace the theme of liberation from slavery back to Exodus, where we find God's third advent at Mt. Sinai. Then we watch as God liberates his covenant people from the bonds of their slavery in Egypt. Finally, we see how Jesus was born as the better Moses, as the true head crushing hero, and the leader of a greater exodus than freedom from slavery.

In this teaching, we look at John 10:10, where Jesus says, "I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly”. Then we are tracing the theme of abundant life back to Genesis, where we find God's first advent at the beginning and the creation of his image bearing creatures. Then we follow that theme forward through the fall of the humans, the curse of sin, onto the promise of blessing made to Abraham. Finally, we see how Jesus was born as the better Adam and the true offspring of Abraham.
