Digging Deeper~3ed Sunday of Advent

Is.11:1-10: A prophecy of the King of peace coming.This peace will be between men and men; men and animals; animals and animals; nation and nation for he shall rule over them all from God's holy hill.  Ps. 72:1-7,18-19:David's prayer for Solomon asking for wisdom to rule the people in such a way that there will be peace on the mountains. Then he praises God for miracles & asks that the God of Israel's glory would fill the whole earth. This also can be seen as a prophecy of Jesus.    Rom.15:4-13:Paul shares how Jesus fulfilled prophecies of him coming to rule over Jews and non Jewish people giving them all hope. These prophecies can be found  in Ps.18:49; Deut.32:43; Is.11:10. Because Jesus has patience with us and has accepted us, we should accept each other and get along.   Mat.3:1-12:John the Baptist came preaching about repenting to prepare the way of the coming King. This fulfilled the Prophecy that Isiah gave in Isiah 40:3.  Isiah prophesied about a king coming to earth to set up his kingdom. He also prophesied about someone coming a head of that king to announce his coming as they did in Jesus culture (Isiah 40:3). John the Baptist was the one who came ahead of Jesus to announce that today is the name of repentance which fulfilled that prophecy    (Mat.3:1-12).  David prayed for his son when he was to become king. But many also believe that his prayer also prophecies about the coming of Jesus (Ps. 72:1-7,18-19). Is. also prophesied about the day when the final king comes and rules over the earth bringing peace to all who live in it including animals(Is. 11:1-10). Many believe that these prophecies will come true when Jesus come to the new earth to rule.  As Jesus' followers we look forward to the day when peace will come to the whole earth when he come to rule it. But we Can have peace of mind and heart now through Christ Jesus. All we have to do is look to Jesus and his Word for us and he will give us peace.  Challenge of the week:  Prepare you heart and mind for Christmas by looking to Jesus who is called the King of peace. How do you think you will do that? Accomplishment of the week: How did you go about finding the peace that is spoken of at Christmas?
