  • In this first episode reflecting on the themes of Advent, Prof. N.T. Wright asks what the Jews of Jesus's day were anticipating, and how Jesus both fit and didn't fit their expectations. Old Testament passages like Isaiah 64 betray a desperation on the part of the authors for God to return and make things right. That desperation was not lost on God, who sent Jesus in answer. How can we today live into the call to celebrate Jesus's coming, while also awaiting and anticipating his eventual return when God will make all things right?
    PEOPLE OF PROMISE
    People of Promise: Reflecting the Rhythms of Advent examines Old Testament passages that showcase how God kept the promises made to Israel, challenging us to rethink these promises with Jesus at their center.
    People of Promise video devotionals arrive every Monday through the liturgical seasons of Lent, Eastertide, and Advent. Make sure you like the video and subscribe to our channel so you never miss a single one.

    Your message offers hope of a future to come, thank you for reminding me that while we live here and now, it is indeed sometime in the future (tonight? next year?) that Jesus will make things right again. For God is faithful, He has shown us over and over how faithful He is although sometimes in ways a bit different than we may expect!❤

    • @NTWrightOnline
      @NTWrightOnline  6 місяців тому +2

      Your reflections beautifully remind us of God's faithful promises, reassuring us that he will put the world right at last. We live now in light of that future hope. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt thoughts

    A beautiful teaching....I've not thought about the Second Coming of Jesus as part of the Advent Season. This focus gives me new hope given all that is happening in the world today.

    Is it possible that the promise of the 2nd Coming might happen in a way we aren't expecting? Such as the Lord's ministry, passion, abd resurrection was not the Messianic mission expected by our Israelite fathers...
