Scripture:
Isaiah 7:10-14
Matthew 1:18-25
The One
For the time of Advent and Christmas, the overarching theme is “the One” teaching us how God works through individuals to accomplish God's saving work. Most significantly, God works through His Son whose coming we celebrate and anticipate. But there are other individuals who also play a role -- John the Baptist, the virgin Mary. the shepherds and old Simeon. These individuals point us to the One and show how each one of us can point to the One in our lives, too . . . each one reaching one who reaches one who reaches one.
