AWESOME THINGS

“For when You did awesome things that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled before You.”             Isaiah 64:3 NIV

 

Isaiah tells us that God does awesome things that we did not look for. The awesome things that we did not expect when God ripped open the heavens and came down to us. This was not in a display of fire and power but entering our world as babe in a manger. Hidden underneath the cuteness of a newborn was the Creator of the world. Advent calls us to reflect on the awesome things that we did not look for when this babe grew up righteous and sinless, full of wisdom, grace, and favour. When the heavens were opened and a dove anointed Him as the one who works joyfully in righteousness, the Beloved Son of God. There, at His baptism He identified Himself with the people who had been in their sins a long time. He identified Himself as the one who would bear the sins of the world away. We reflect on the awesome things we did not look for hidden in life, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. Appearing to the disciples, giving them the command to preach repentance and forgiveness of sins in His name, through the power and ministry of the Holy Spirit. We are called to reflect upon the awesome things that we did not look for in what He has done for us. Offering us new birth, becoming a new creation in Christ Jesus. In this season of Advent, we are called to reflect upon the awesome things that we did not look for.
