Advent Devotions 2021

In the Old Testament, the Lord Jahweh, the faithful God who keeps his promises—revealed his glory to his people in many ways. For generations, Christians have seen Christ in some of these revelations, specifically in appearances of the “glory of the Lord” and the “angel of the Lord.”

This devotion series will explore many of those Old Testament appearances that prefigured the ultimate revelation of God’s glory in Jesus.

We’ll also explore some New Testament passages where the inspired authors take up the theme of God’s glory, specifically as they describe the person and work of Jesus.

Perhaps the apostle John’s words say it best: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace
and truth” (John 1:14).

We pray that these devotions will strengthen and comfort you as you prepare for the humble coming of Christ this Christmas and for his glorious coming someday soon.
