Horizon Church Christmas Advent Bible Reading Plan: The Joy of Every Longing HeartIhe Atụ

This time of year, we celebrate our God, who has all the power, but came to earth in the “likeness of humanity” (Philippians 2:7). He chose to serve rather than oppress. He used His infinite power to save His enemies. He came to set them—and us—free.

“He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to set free the oppressed.”

—Luke 4:18

The prophet Isaiah said that Jesus would come to restore broken things, free captives, meet needs, protect, and guide. And then He came. And He humbled himself.

I love that we serve a God who is all-powerful, yet completely humble. I remember He arrived to suffer, serve, and live like us. I love that walking with Him and being changed by Him leads me to enjoy His great love.

Let’s pray that our families will recognise and delight in the power of the His Spirit within us and that we will use our new life in Him to love and live like Jesus did.
