(ESV)\n\n The threefold message of Advent says that Jesus came, Jesus\n is here, Jesus is coming again. Last Sunday we heard of Jesus\n riding into Jerusalem as the humble king, seated on the back of a\n donkey. He came, not to conquer the land, not to overthrown the\n Roman occupation, but to defeat sin and death.\n\n Jesus told Pontius Pilate, ``My kingdom is not of this\n world.''[1] Yet Jeremiah the prophet wrote: ```Behold, the days\n are coming,' declares the LORD, `when I will raise up for David a\n righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and\n shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.''' Jesus,\n descended from King David, is more than a monarch over a small\n patch of land. His reign is over all of creation, over the\n church on earth, and over all of heaven.\n\n Jesus, as the righteous king, makes His people righteous by\n paying the price of their sin. He is the King who died for His\n people, who rose from the dead to show that death is defeated,\n and who will come to take His people to live forever in His\n kingdom.\n\n The Righteous King was hidden from our view as He humbly\n rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. He set aside His\n kingly power to redeem us from sin and death. He entrusted His\n message of hope, of forgiveness, of life to His apostles and the\n Church.\n\n In Him we are declared righteous, forgiven, and holy. May\n our Lord grant us faith to hold firmly to His Word, to trust in\n His righteousness, so to live with Him eternally. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
