The First Advent

As I shared on Sunday, the first Advent (coming) of our Lord was at Sinai/Horeb as recorded in Exodus 19. It was here that the people of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob became God's people, His special treasure. This coming was the birth of God's people who were to be a blessing to all the world.

It is from this family (God's family) that God would become incarnate, Immanuel.

God came down to establish His first covenant with His chosen people. God came in person to establish the second/new covenant. The second has not replaced the first. It is a fuller/complete revelation delivered in person to establish a relationship with mankind.

Advent. What a great season! This week at PVBC we will begin a series on God's Gifts to Us. Come experience the exciting anticipation of Christmas.
