Deep dives
The Supremacy of the Son
The supremacy of Jesus as the Son of God is emphasized through scriptural references that highlight his divinity and authority. Readers are reminded that Jesus sat down at the right hand of God's majesty after purifying sins, establishing his position as superior to angels. This superiority is underscored by God’s declaration of Jesus as His Son, which signifies an unparalleled relationship and authority over creation. The podcast encourages reflection on the significance of Jesus' role, which transcends merely being an infant at birth, expressing the anticipation of his eventual reign and the fulfillment of prophesies.
Awaiting the Second Advent
As the year comes to a close after celebrating Jesus's birth, the focus shifts to the anticipation of his return. The discussion asserts that, although Jesus came humbly the first time, his second coming will manifest his supreme authority, fulfilling the expectations of the faithful. Listeners are prompted to let go of preconceived notions about how Jesus should engage with the world, focusing instead on readiness for his return. The message concludes with a call to prayer and preparation, emphasizing that believers should remain expectant and joyful as they await Christ's triumphant return to rule and reign.
Welcome to Church of the City New York's Advent Devotionals.
Jesus was good news in the first century, and He is still good news today.
One of the most iconic passages read during the Advent season comes from Isaiah 9, where the Prophet proclaims the light has dawned for those living in darkness, a child will be born, and a son will be given, the Messiah, who will bring peace with God and with mankind by ruling on David's throne. We hope that during this season everyone listening will gain a renewed desire to walk in intimacy with Jesus and to boldly proclaim the story of God's Son to others.
