God demonstrates his love for the world by sending his (willing) Son to bring salvation to humanity - more than that, to the ends of the earth!  It began with God's Son taking on humanity (fully human and fully God), becoming incarnate in the flesh.  Why would God do this, become this? 

God's salvation in CHRIST is COSMIC and it looks alot like JOY.  I've been thinking about this; a big thing in a small package.  Jesus' coming was unbelievably small and by all indications insignificant - a small town called Bethlehem, born out back away from the inn, placed in a manger... yet, this was God's plan.  The Son of God came to us incarnate, born as a vulnerable little baby.  And babies are small packages.  Yet, this was a big 'happening' with a cosmic effect.  

Sunday is Advent week two, a focus on Peace.  In Isaiah 52, the prophet Isaiah speaks of a coming Savior, who will bring salvation, and this salvation will go out to the ends of the earth.  What does this mean?

Sunday is the 1st Sunday of Advent 2025, a great day to turn the page!  For in the fullness of time, God stepped into time, at just the right time, to redeem ALL time!  As Galatians 4:4 says, "When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might be adopted as God's children."

Let's meditate on the foolishness of sin this Sunday.  Simply do a search of the book of Proverbs and you will have all the wisdom needed to wrap your head and heart around the foolishness of sin.
