This Christmas Eve, Julia talks with the kids about the way God arrives into our world as a baby, born to simple parents in the middle of nowhere. And, not only that, but the first people God told about this baby were a bunch of nobody shepherds. But in His arrival, God made clear that He sees us, knows us, and loves us. That He will come for us and rescue us.
Pastor Dennis, then, talks about the prophet Isaiah’s foretelling of Jesus’ arrival. How the prophet speaks of a coming hope, a rescuing power, who will turn darkness to light, war to peace, and corruption to justice. In Jesus, God’s great reversal begins where the mighty are brought low and the low are lifted high. No matter how we find ourselves this Christmas, Jesus has come for us.
