The long-expected Messiah. Tell — Shepherds?
Luke 2: 8 – 15 King David had been a shepherd, and the Messiah was spoken of as becoming a shepherd. The shepherds outside Bethlehem were probably the lower parts of society, but that is exactly who the Messiah was coming to rescue. And they were probably good at talking…
Outsiders recognise an important event – The Magi
Matthew 2: 1-12. Beyond the borders of the Jewish homeland foreigners recognise a sign in the stars. This event carries importance and they are motivated to set out and discover the truth.
Mary and Joseph – King’s parents? Unexpected choices.
Luke 1: 26 – 56; Matthew 1. After hundreds of years of waiting the expectations for a Messiah were still present, but who would have thought of an unmarried girl from the Galilee District being the mother. Could this really be the coming of the promised Messiah?
Is the waiting over?
Luke 1: 5 – 25, 57 – 80. After more than 500 years of waiting – the first special angel-announced birth – is this the Messiah? In fact the angel announces that this baby will “make ready a people prepared for the Lord”.
A Shepherding Messiah?
Ezekiel 34; Jeremiah 23: 1-8, Luke 15:3-7. It was proving to be a long wait for the promised Messiah? Were they going to be a Conquering King or a Shepherd when they finally came?
A Victorious Messiah?
Ps 72; Ps 110; Isaiah 11. From Judah onwards the expectation is for a coming victorious King.
Serving to transform.
Philippians. Whilst Paul’s main reason for writing his letter to the Philippians was to thank them for the gift they’d sent him, he took the opportunity to say so much more! His opinion is very clear: no matter what your circumstances are (he was under house arrest in Rome at the time), you can always […]
Serving to kingdom-build.
2 Thessalonians. One letter wasn’t enough for the Thessalonians! They took on board what Paul had said in his first letter – hope is already secured in Christ, and He will return to make all things new. Their response went something like: “Oh! Ok. If that’s the case, we’ll sit down and wait for Christ […]
Growing to deepen.
1 Thessalonians. Paul had previously visited Thessalonica, but his stay was cut short (see Acts 17:1-9). His letter sought to addresses those things that he had not previously spoken about, but were very much needed. One of Paul’s concerns was that those who had recently come to faith, and discovered their place of belonging within […]
