from Luke 1:67-80
There is a longing for home within each of us. Try as we might to fill that longing with promises of this world, with relationships, with achievement, or any other number of things in which we seek to find meaning and identity, there is only one place we are meant to be “at home.”
In the season of Advent we celebrate that God did not leave us to wander alone looking for home, instead, in Jesus He came to find us that we might find our home in Him.
On the 4th Sunday of Advent we are invited to consider all of the ways God has ruled and led and worked from a place of compassion and grace to lead us to the moment when Jesus would enter the world. Zechariah’s response, prompted by the Holy Spirit, is born out of such a realization.
What are the ways God has shown compassion and grace in your life?
