Advent Reading

God’s Promise: The Greatest Proof of All



Last week we lit the first advent candle. We

were reminded of the message of hope to astruggling nation, the hope of Jesus our Savior.

This week we light the second advent candle,

and see God’s promise, the greatest proof of all.



Isaiah 7:10-14 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, “Ask a sign of the

Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as

heaven.” But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will

not put the Lord to the test.”$ And he said, “Hearthen, O house of David! Is it too little for you to

weary men, that you weary my God also?

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign.

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and shall call his name Immanuel.



God sent the prophet Isaiah to Ahaz to calm his

fears of attack and he told Ahaz not to worry;

God would protect him. Ahaz was afraid to askGod for a sign, but God wanted to give him a

sign. So God spoke through Isaiah and gave

Ahaz the greatest sign that has ever been given.



Ahaz had no idea what the sign meant, but

today we know that the virgin Isaiah spoke of

was Mary and her Son was Jesus, Immanuel,God with us. God was giving the greatest sign,

that He was who he said he was. Jesus proved

that he was God when after dying on the cross,

he rose again from the dead, just as he said.



As we rejoice in the fulfilled promised of God;

we wait with assured hope for the promises ofGod to be completed, and for Christ to come

again.



Come Thou long expected Jesus, Born to set Thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us;

Let us find our rest in Thee. Israel’s Strength and Consolation,

Hope of all the earth Thou art;

Dear Desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart.



Joy to those who long to see Thee Dayspring from on high appear;

Come thou promised Rod of Jesse

of Thy birth we long to hear. O’er the hills the angels singing

news, glad tidings of a birth;

Go to Him your praises ringing Christ the Lord has come to earth.



Come to earth to taste our sadness He whose glories knew no end;

By His life He brings us gladness

Our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend. Leaving riches without number

born within a cattle stall;

This the everlasting wonder, Christ was born the Lord of all.



Born Thy people to deliver

born a child and yet a King; Born to reign in us forever

Now Thy gracious Kingdom bring.

By Thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone;

By Thine all su%cient merit

Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus W and M—Charles Wesley

So, when our days are through

Our hope will rest in You&For we can trust$

Your promises are true



Our only hope

Our only hope is You, Lord Our only hope$

Our only hope is You, Lord



The bridges we had burned

You have restored

You gave us hopewhen there was none before

You paid the debt

that we could not a#ord

And cast away our guilt forevermore



So, when our days are through

Our hope will rest in You&For we can trust$

Your promises are true



Our only hope

Our only hope is You, Lord

Our only hope Our only hope is You.

Our Only Hope Is YouW and M—Neil & Kate DeGraide

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in Thee

Let the water and the blood From Thy wounded side which flowed

Be of sin the double cure

Save from wrath and make me pure



All the labors of my hands

Could not meet Thy law’s demands

Could my zeal no respite know Could my tears forever flow

All for sin could not atone

Thou must save, and Thou alone



Nothing in my hands I bring

Simply to Thy cross I cling

Naked come to Thee for dress Helpless, look to Thee for grace

To Thy fountain, Lord, I fly

Wash me Savior or I die



While I draw this fleeting breath When my eyes shall close in death

When I soar to worlds unknown

See Thee on Thy judgment throne

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Let me hide myself in Thee

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me Music and additional lyrics by Bob Kauflin
