Jesus, The Coming Messiah: Advent Readings from Old Testament to New
December 7: The Messiah as Son of God and King
Readings: Psalm 2; Luke 1:35

Psalm 2:10-12a The Voice
So leaders, kings, and judges,
be wise, and be warned.
There is only one God, the Eternal;
worship Him with respect and awe;
take delight in Him and tremble.
Bow down before God’s son.

Luke 1:35, The Voice
The angel Gabriel to Mary
The Holy Spirit will come upon you. The Most High will overshadow you. That’s why this holy child will be known, as not just your son, but also as the Son of God.

Prayer
Hallelujah to Jesus!
You are the Son
Beloved
Wanted
Offered
Vulnerable
Long awaited child of promise

Hallelujah to Jesus!
You are the Son of David
Born to a specific people
A specific culture
A specific time and place
A long awaited covenant fulfilled
For them and for all

Hallelujah to Jesus!
You are the Son of God
Eternal Word made flesh
Fully Human, Fully Divine
Humble servant, King of Kings
The most marvelous mystery of God’s
Unending, Ultimate, Unconditional Love

Come, Lord Jesus, Come
