Fourth Sunday of Advent December 22, 2024
Cradle and cross are inextricably connected on the fourth Sunday of Advent. Between a lovely tribute to the little town of Bethlehem and Mary’s magnificent song of praise, the letter to the Hebrews reminds us in no uncertain terms that Christ’s advent is for “the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” It is the kind of tension in which the church always lives as when in holy communion—with high delight—“we proclaim the Lord’s death.” Replays available on Hope Lutheran Church's Facebook and YouTube Pages Please visit the church website or Facebook page for the link to the online giving site.
