Advent 2021 Trailer: Jesus Is Coming
Manage episode 335560382 series 2922569
Rev. Starlette Thomas is your podcast pastor and host of “The Raceless Gospel” podcast from Good Faith Media.
Jesus, the hometown hero (or at least that’s what they say now), Mary’s boy, Joseph’s stepson. We have fancier names for him now, but I want to introduce us to the Jesus who came to a prepubescent teen girl as she is not featured in the nativity scene we have some version of. All her hairs and every animal in place, the serene scene is far from the truth. Birthing a child at any time of the day is never silent.
So please do not offer me your rendition of “Silent Night.” But I digress. Back to Jesus, sweet baby Jesus, divinity in pounds and ounces, can you see him? How do you ready yourself to receive him in an unkempt world? The season of Advent is one of preparation, a reminder of God the Family and that we are a part of it.
Jesus’ birth foretold by prophets. His arrival announced by angels. His presence felt by his cousin John before he comes out kicking and screaming, a bouncing baby boy. Jesus is coming and he comes bearing good news and carries the government on his shoulders. Jesus is coming and coming to undue every unjust system that robs me of you.
A season of preparation for a ‘kin-dom’ that is coming. Back up. Give everyone some space. There is “plenty good room.” Come one, come all to Jesus.
