Advent Reading
Gods Promise: The Greatest Proof of All
Last week we lit the first advent candle. We were
reminded of the message of hope to a struggling
nation, the hope of Jesus our Savior. This week we
light the second advent candle, and see Gods
promise, the greatest proof of all.

Isaiah 7:10-14

Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, Ask a sign of the Lord

your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the
Lord to the test.And he said, Hear then, O house of
David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you
weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will
give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and
bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

God sent the prophet Isaiah to Ahaz to calm his fears

of attack and he told Ahaz not to worry; God would
protect him. Ahaz was afraid to ask God for a sign,
but God wanted to give him a sign. So God spoke
through Isaiah and gave Ahaz the greatest sign that
has ever been given.

Ahaz had no idea what the sign meant, but today we

know that the virgin Isaiah spoke of was Mary and her
Son was Jesus, Immanuel, God with us. God was
giving the greatest sign, that He was who he said he
was. Jesus proved that he was God when after dying
on the cross, he rose again from the dead, just as he
said.

As we rejoice in the fulfilled promised of God; we wait

with assured hope for the promises of God to be
completed, and for Christ to come again.

Come Thou long expected Jesus,

Born to set Thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us;

Let us find our rest in Thee.

Israels Strength and Consolation,

Hope of all the earth Thou art;

Dear Desire of every nation,

Joy of every longing heart.

Joy to those who long to see Thee

Dayspring from on high appear;

Come thou promised Rod of Jesse

of Thy birth we long to hear.

Oer the hills the angels singing

news, glad tidings of a birth;

Go to Him your praises ringing

Christ the Lord has come to earth.

Come to earth to taste our sadness

He whose glories knew no end;

By His life He brings us gladness

Our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.

Leaving riches without number

born within a cattle stall;

This the everlasting wonder,

Christ was born the Lord of all.

Born Thy people to deliver

born a child and yet a King;

Born to reign in us forever

Now Thy gracious Kingdom bring.

By Thine own eternal Spirit

Rule in all our hearts alone;

By Thine all sucient merit

Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

Come behold the wondrous mystery

In the dawning of the King

He the theme of heavens praises

Robed in frail humanity

In our longing, in our darkness

Now the light of life has come

Look to Christ, who condescended

Took on flesh to ransom us

Come behold the wondrous mystery

He the perfect Son of Man

In His living, in His suering

Never trace nor stain of sin

See the true and better Adam

Come to save the hell-bound man

Christ the great and sure fulfillment

Of the law; in Him we stand

Come behold the wondrous mystery

Christ the Lord upon the tree

In the stead of ruined sinners

Hangs the Lamb in victory

See the price of our redemption

See the Fathers plan unfold

Bringing many sons to glory

Grace unmeasured, love untold

Come behold the wondrous mystery

Slain by death the God of life

But no grave could eer restrain Him

Praise the Lord; He is alive!

What a foretaste of deliverance

How unwavering our hope

Christ in power resurrected

As we will be when he comes

What a foretaste of deliverance
