Merry Christmas! Welcome to Advent 2010.
As I write, it’s a 94-degree July day; as you read I hope it’s cool , and your thoughts are moving toward the wonderful Christmas before us.
This year, I’m broadening the audience for whom I am writing. In the past, I have written to the church family here at Homosassa United Methodist; however, over the years, you have told me you send our devotionals to friends. This year I hope to make each day’s thought relevant to our extended family, friends whom we love and welcome, with whom we want to share.
Does the name of our devotional seem inappropriate? I hope it won’t as you proceed through the pages. As you read, you’ll see that the Scriptures tell us of Jesus, not just as a baby, but as Creator, a Great Mystery, God Incarnate, our Redeemer, our Suffering Christ, and our Mediator/Advocate. So beginning at Genesis I have chosen Scriptures that reveal who Christ Jesus is, why he came, and what he did.
The Scripture references are very short. My prayer is that what I have chosen will whet your appetite , cause you to read in your own Bible the entire reference. I’ve taken a narrow view; you can put a wide lens on to see the whole picture. Read and find hope!
Remember, “Everything that has been written was written for our instruction, that through our perseverance and the revelation of the Holy Spirit, we might find hope.” (Romans 15:4)
