The Significance of Remembering and Focusing on the Coming of Jesus During Christmas
During the Christmas season, many traditions such as putting up a tree and exchanging gifts take center stage, overshadowing the significance of the season, which is the coming of Jesus. In the podcast episode, Paul Tripp addresses this issue and introduces his book, 'Come, let us adore him: a daily advent devotional,' which aims to recapture our attention and reawaken our souls during Christmas time. Each day's devotion includes a compelling gospel-centered thought, an extended meditation, a scriptural reading, and notes for parents and children. The book seeks to equip and encourage readers to focus on the one thing that matters most in December: celebrating Jesus.
The Present Reign of King Jesus and Understanding the Sweep of Redemptive History
In the podcast, Paul Tripp and guest Nancy Guthrie discuss the present rule of King Jesus. They emphasize that Jesus, as a resurrected and ascended King, is currently reigning and putting his enemies under his feet. It is important for believers to understand that Jesus is still in a human body in heaven, and he is the first fruits of many to come. Many believers have lost sight of the sweep of redemptive history and fail to recognize that Jesus is presently at work, bringing about good and silencing evil. Understanding the big story of the Bible and aligning our lives with it is crucial in living out the Christian life.
In this week’s Connecting Clip Of The Week, Paul and guest Nancy Guthrie discuss the present rule of King Jesus and how he is currently putting his enemies under his feet.
