Neither Jesus, the 12 nor Paul tried to argue people into faith. They told the truth, and let people see the power of God at work. When John the Baptist asked if Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus sent his followers back to tell him about the signs and wonders they had seen that confirmed scripture. People follow signs. The Shepherds and Wisemen followed signs. In this Advent season, as we follow the signs to the manger, to find God in the flesh, may the power of God at work in our lives be a sign that others see and follow to Jesus.
This 5-week series during Advent focuses on our being Reunited with God and together now, and finally when Christ returns. We join the Romans looking forward to Paul’s visit, as we prepare to celebrate Christ’s birth and look forward to His return.
