Advent 2 — Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus? The announcement of the Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary leaves no doubt. Jesus is Jehovah God in the flesh! He is the “Son of the Highest” and also the promised Son of David who would rule over God’s people forever and ever.

Take heed to yourselves ... lest that day come upon you unawares. Luke 21

Why did God send John the Baptist?

The words of Gabriel to Zachariah echo the Word of the Lord recorded by Malachi, the prophet: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse" (Mal. 4:5-6).

Offer the sacrifice of praise - Hebrews 13:15-16

Therefore, through Christ, and as a result of His love and mercy upon us, we are exhorted to “continually offer to God the sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share. For with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”

Are you content with God’s blessings? Hebrews 13:4-6

And what God is teaching us in this commandment is to trust Him in all things and to be content in Him and in all His blessings. We are not to covet or desire what God has not given us but to trust in Him and rejoice in His blessings.

Do you despise the Gospel blessings and count them as less important than the things this world has to offer? Consider the message of Hebrews 12:14-17 as it relates to Esau despising and selling his birthright in Genesis 25:29-34.

Do you despise the Gospel blessings? Genesis 25:34ff.; Heb. 12:14ff.

This is a warning for us as believers not to esteem the grace of God lightly — not to risk it all or sell our birthright in Jesus Christ to enjoy the temporary pleasures of this world.

Remain in Jesus’ Word - John 8:31-32

Where can we find the truth? How can we know and be assured of forgiveness for all our sins and a place in God's everlasting kingdom? Jesus answered those very questions when He said to the Jews who believed in Him: “If you remain in My word, then you are truly My disciples. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
