| The Great Rescue Had Begun ... (JSB - 206) |
Ornament: LocustScripture Readings:
Isaiah 40:1-5
Malachi 3:1
Matthew 3:1-17
Mark 1:1-11
Luke 1:57-80
Luke 3:1-21
John 1:19-34
Verse: John 1:29
Christmas Song: O Hearken Ye
Hymn: Holy Spirit
The Big Picture Story Bible God's Promised One is Followed (271-285)
The Jesus Storybook Bible: Heaven breaks through (200-207)
The Ology: Jesus Sends His Disciples on a Mission (127-129)
The Gospel Story: The Ministry of John the Baptist (164-165)
The Baptism of Jesus (166-167)
God used an unlikely person who stank and who had weird eating habits to prepare the way for Jesus. Isn't that one of God's amazing and gracious patterns throughout history? - using unlikely people for His big rescue plan.
God used John to fulfill yet another prophecy - a promise. John gave the Gospel in a nutshell when He said: "behold the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world." We see Jesus declared as the lamb to rescue us and take our place, just like that lamb took Isaac's place many hundreds of years earlier. God was and is and will always keep His promise to rescue His people.

Tidings and Tidbits:
- Here is a text that fits well for today's reading.
- We chose to make an ornament that was a bug, because John the Baptist ate locusts and honey. My kids think this is hilarious, and it is what helps them remember the story. So there you have it.
