Series: Advent 2020Scripture: Isaiah 64:1-12 Now some are lost in shopping malls and some on battlefields And some are lost in suburbs and some on capitol hills Some are lost on terminal wards or in a nursing home And some are equally as lost in between their headphones But whatever your coordinates on your map of shame Rather close or far away we’re all lost just the same The birth of births was like a death Under that hallowed star Still every father know and cares Where his sons and daughters are Bill Mallonee, “Every Father Knows” “It’s still not Christmas, but it’s also still not the great last Advent, the last coming of Christ. Through all the Advents of our life that we celebrate runs the longing for the last Advent, when the word will be: ‘See, I am making all things new’ (Rev. 21:5).” Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God is in the Manger O King within the child within the clay, O hidden King who shapes us in the play Of all creation. Shape us for the day Your coming Kingdom comes into its own. Malcom Guite, O Rex Gentium (O King of the Nations) “Remember that this God in whose hand are all creatures, is your Father, and is much more tender of you than you are, or can be, of yourself.” John Flavel, Keeping the HeartThe post The Thing Everyone Needs This Christmas first appeared on Hope Church PCA.
