Advent: Thirty Days of Jesus, Day 3- ‘Perfect Timing’

    By Elizabeth Prata

    We are in the section of my Advent thirty day flow where we examine PROPHECY, ARRIVAL, and EARLY LIFE of Jesus.

    In this section I chose verses that reflect the prophecies that predict His coming. Prophecy warns of coming judgment but it also comforts in that it foretells the holy and wonderful resolution of all things for the believer. This resolution didn’t begin with Jesus’ incarnation as a babe in the manger, it didn’t even begin in the Garden when Adam and Eve sinned.

    It began before the foundation of the world when the God-head held an intra-council discussion and Jesus voluntarily chose to become the sacrificial Lamb. When humans were created and Adam and Eve talked with God after the Fall, He proclaimed the Good News, partially veiled and not fully explained (Genesis 3:15), and continued gradually revealing His prophetic assurances throughout the Old Testament- until the day the savior took on flesh and was born! This one child, finite babe and infinite God, changed the world. His birth is a pivot point in human history.

          Cultivating a Generous Heart

          It’s always ironic to me that after Thanksgiving—a holiday to pause, reflect, and give thanks—Black Friday follows immediately after. It’s a day of deals, frenzy, and the push to buy more and more. Buying things isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s striking how quickly the world tries to steer our hearts from gratitude toward discontentment, comparison, and a scarcity mindset. But Jesus teaches us an upside-down way of living. He taught lessons like: "the first shall be last," "whoever wants to gain
