Sunday December 15: “What Child is This? Savior of the World” Isaiah 53:1-7
advent | Jesus

By Bill Flavin, Lead Pastor

Since I was young, I have heard Christians talk about Jesus being our Lord and Savior. This implies we are being saved from something or someone. Too often, our answers are anemic or at best incomplete. Jesus saves us from going to hell, and one day when we die, we go to heaven with God. Which is all true. AND. Jesus promises that his saving changes our today as well. That he saves us from the narratives of our world that leave us longing for more. That he saves us from a life driven solely by what you can produce or make or earn. Jesus comes to save us not just for one day in the future, but to transform how we live today also.

There is about 400 years between the time that it is estimated the last book of the Old Testament was written and the arrival of Jesus. Isaiah 53 helps to paint the picture of the coming Savior, and why He was worth waiting for.

One definition of integrity focuses on who you are when others are not looking. Part of what this passage invites us to consider is also why we are doing what we are doing. Do we have a sense of why we are doing what we are doing that will guide us and ground us even if no one else is watching, or no one else sees, or we don’t even know the impact?
