If you want to know the word made flesh, come and see Jesus. If you want to know what love is like, come and see Jesus. If you want to experience God's glory, to be filled with bread that never perishes, to quench your thirst with living water, to be born again, to abide in love, come and see Jesus.  If you want to behold the light of the world, to enter into life everlasting and to experience life that truly matters, come and see Jesus.  If you want to know God, come and see Jesus.  There is no better learning experience than responding to Jesus’ invitation to come and see and experience the joy of living in relationship with Him.  Let’s make this journey together.  Come and see.

The baby who is born into our lives tonight comes to turn us inside out so that, as we live into God’s dream for this world, we too can put flesh on God’s message of hope, of peace, of forgiveness, of grace and love.  Yes, the God of the cosmos who left his place in glory to visit us in this dark dreary place has come to give us God’s very self.  The God who became enfleshed in Jesus the Christ is born again in our hearts, becoming enfleshed in us, as God makes us new. Rejoice!  Our Lord, Immanuel, is here!

Special music by the Joyful Noise Childrens' Choir at Faith Lutheran Church in Okemos, Michigan

It is only the presence of Immanuel, God with us, that transforms the systemic, predictable, messy patterns of living and enables us to live into the dream of God where all things are made new.  Yes, love is on the way and the Child will be born again in us, in the depth of our neediness, in our hurting and pain, and in our deep longing for him. Do not be afraid because the hopes and fears of all the years are met in this One, Immanuel, God with us – this One who is on the way!

John the Baptist is standing in the wings prompting us and giving us our lost lines.  He is there pointing beyond himself to God, telling us the advent of a new age is upon us.  He is telling us that, in the person of Jesus, God is guiding us as we move through the wilderness of life and live into God’s kingdom of hope and love.

A Special music performance of I was Glad by Gary Hallquist by the Faith Lutheran Chancel Choir

As we continue to wait for God’s coming in fullness to this broken world, the promise of Advent is that what is coming is an unimaginable invasion, an invasion of holiness, an invasion of God in this world.  So, stay awake, be alert and be ready.  God is on the way.  That is what Advent is all about.

Jesus is the bread of life. So, tonight as we celebrate Thanksgiving, we give thanks not only for all the blessings we have received, but especially for the bread of life that truly matters – Jesus, the Christ.
