Christmas From Cover to Cover: 25-Day Advent Devotionalনমুনা

The tabernacle (and then later the temple) was the place for sinful humanity to interact with a holy God. This is where the Lord met His people, accepted sacrifices, and abided with Israel. The intensity of the glory of God was shielded by a thick veil. But Israel remembered the days before Adam’s sin when God and man walked together in harmony. They knew that their sin kept them from the Father. That was, until Christmas morning. God dwelt in a new temple made of flesh! The glory of the mighty God was contained in the fragile baby Jesus! God’s promise has been fulfilled! Jesus comes to us full of grace and truth to lead us back to the Father, and God has initiated it all. Let the whole earth rejoice that Jesus has come.

Reflection Question: Why do you think it’s important that God initiates salvation?
