Great Expectations: An Advent Series

In the Book of Luke, we see the story of an old priest named Zechariah. Zechariah and his wife Elizabeth had no children, and they were very old.  Despite this, God miraculously gave them a son who was destined to prepare people’s hearts for the Lord.   When his child was born, Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied,“And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.
-Luke 1:76-79  .  Zechariah’s Song is a beautiful depiction of the mercy of God, who gives us the knowledge of salvation. To better understand Salvation and how it’s related to the Birth of Jesus the Messiah, we can look at it as a picture with three parts.

The Birth of Jesus the Messiah

A docudrama on the life of Jesus Christ, the “JESUS” film has been translated into more than 1,400 languages since its 1979 release. It remains the most translated and viewed film in history. Pastor Rick Warren, author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” says “The ‘JESUS’ film is the most effective evangelistic tool ever invented.”

More than 450 religious leaders and scholars evaluated the script to ensure historical and biblical accuracy. The script is closely based on Luke's Gospel, so almost every word Jesus speaks is from the Bible. Rigorous efforts to portray the Jewish and Roman culture of nearly 2,000 years ago include: hand-woven clothing in only the 35 colors used then, pottery made with first-century methods, and removal of modern telephone poles and power lines from the landscape.

JESUS was filmed entirely at 202 locations in Israel in 1979, with a cast numbering more than 5,000 Israelis and Arabs. Whenever possible, scenes were filmed on the sites where they took place 2,000 years ago.

New Testament

The Bible is a very long book that tells a story with complex layers of plots and subplots, and it’s written in a variety of ancient literary styles. All of these factors make the Bible a formidable and often frustrating book for modern readers, including religious readers. And yet, the Bible still has a magnetic draw in our culture which motivates people to overcome these hurdles and attempt to understand what the Bible is all about.  This series will explore the origins, content, and purpose of the Bible, and it will introduce people to some of the basic skills necessary for reading the Bible effectively. The first few videos will provide an overview of where the Bible came from and what its storyline is all about. After this introduction, the rest of the series will explore all the various kinds of ancient literature found in the Bible and will offer practical skills for reading them with greater understanding. The How to Read the Bible series assumes no previous knowledge about the Bible, and is an ideal way to introduce people to the Bible for the first time. It’s also aimed at people who are familiar with the Bible but haven’t yet learned how it communicates as a piece of literature.
