- hello Advent comes from a Latin word meaning arrival and although we know there could have been no preparation at all for the
- arrival of the baby Jesus in the stable or shed some say some of us know a bit about preparing for the birth birth of an animal at least in a stable or in my
- case a sheep shed in advance we sought out warming lights ropes claustrum just in case the you can't or won't feed the Lum various injectable Solutions fresh
- straw fresh hay and water and of course iodine for the naval a two-way resuscitator is a luxury for us but not for the Lum if it saves its life finally
- a special Energy Solution for a totally exhausted mother who simply cannot stand up and a couple of apples and a dish of units of a treat for her or all of the
- new mothers in the Bethlehem stable there wasn't the technology we have but there was a first and a frisen of excitement when Jesus was born he was
- expected by some people who had read the Old Testament prophets but then the place suddenly was full of full of shepherds have you ever wondered why it
- was Shepherds who were told by a bunch of angels to go to Bethlehem to answer that I need to take you back to the 4,000 year old first 11
- chapters of the Book of Genesis here we read that we were created in God's Own image and we're Immortal so as to live with him in a
- state of Eternal loving Bliss to benefit from such a state of bliss we had to be self-aware such awareness arises only
- from a capacity to choose hence God's Gift of free will I have heard some say that God gave us that gift so that we could choose good
- or evil he gave it so that we could choose good however as soon as self will was chosen trust was broken and time and space came into being Man became mortal
- and was then forever trapped in space and time God however is not this is because the barriers of mortality are permeable to the Holy
- Spirit which can act on either side of the barrier it did so when the angel Gabriel visited Zachariah and Elizabeth before their child John the Baptist was
- born and the spirit of God crossed the barrier again when Mary accepted to be the mother of the Messiah mashiach in Hebrew an adventure had begun for
- Zachariah and Elizabeth and Mary and Joseph and we too can see Advent as an adventure Mary was to be the mother of the one who was coming from God to
- remind the Jewish people of their covenants which included their role in bringing the message of Yahweh to all the peoples of the earth as already Mary
- already knew this baby was to be about his father's business of redeeming Mankind from the sin which had separated the creation from its creator from the
- fault onwards mankind was mortal and no amount of sacrifice in animals could bridge that Chasm the only way that IR remedial
- Gap could be SC spaned was by God himself doing it and now to answer the question I asked you about the Angels who announced his birth to Shepherds
- under the old covenants with God Shepherds provided their best Lums for the slaughter and so it was right that they should be there at the birth of the
- sacrificial Lum who was to be the final sacrifice of the old Covenant and ushering the new he lived the perfect life and
- carried the spirit of God with him as evidenced by his miraculous healings his power over the elements of nature and his teachings which were so different
- from the established order that the religious authorities of the day could not tolerate him they did more than silence him and so they contrived his
- death I will not go further into these to account but will say that in this session of Advent at the start of the church year we can be confident that the
- baby in the stable was embarking on the adventure of his life as he reach manhood he faced the evil one who was tempted to doubt his own Messianic
- calling tempted with worldly power and to prove his trust in God later his own mother at the wedding feast in Kaa I can't say tempted him but encouraged him
- to start his ministry before he thought it was right to do so but he knew the scriptures and that he must follow them he was baptized for
- the remission of sin although he was sinless and we know the accounts of his confirmation with the Holy Spirit by and with the dove reference Noah and the
- flood the voice from Heaven reference in Moses and the burning bush each year at Advent we too can regard this at the time of
- arrival a time when we arrive at the stable like the Shepherds to acknowledge his birth and Marvel as did the Shepherds Among Us still do at the
- knowledge already built into the you you whose body knows she has to lick her Lums and talk to them right away she also knows if she has sufficient milk
- for one or two or three and if one of them is sickly in my videos other videos I recount Tales of how you told me of difficulties ahead and of how they thank
- me for helping one you even came and licked me after a difficult birth the Shepherd in that stable would have experienced the very same feelings as we
- do today and they too would have felt the immediacy of that contact with nature and its divine origins just like the baby Jesus we receive and give
- presents at Christmas but we all know what the true gift was at Christmas and who gave it that gift from God being the reinstatement of our eternal life with
- him we lost our immortality when we were separated from God in Genesis but we can begin our adventure in a New Covenant with Jesus this
- Christmas for those who are not on an adventure with Jesus we can do so by doing what he did at the commencement of his ministry be
- baptized from Genesis and the gospels I now turn to the Book of Revelation and the final words of the Apostle John he was the only faithful Apostle not
- martyred who had been with Jesus throughout his ministry towards the end of his long life he was visited by an Angel who gave
- him his these final words which are I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book if anyone adds to them God will add to him the
- plagues that are written in this book and if anyone takes away from these words of the book of this prophecy God will take away his part from the Tree of
- Life and from the holy city which are written in this book He Who testifies to these things says yes I am coming coming quickly and
- come Lord Jesus come John's own words echo down the ages the grace of the Lord Jesus be with all
- amen
