Advent 2020 | bethany

He Shall Be Called

Before Jesus was born, He was named.

Jesus’ original birth announcement, spoken by the prophet Isaiah, comes as a promise of hope in a time of deep darkness and despair. The baby’s birth would turn people’s gaze from the present to the future, to what God was going to do to put the world to rights and redeem His people.

In the run up to Christmas 2020, we looked at the names of Jesus…our Wonderful Counsellor, our Mighty God, our Everlasting Father, our Prince of Peace…as a reminder of who it is we are watching and waiting for this Advent season.

It’s our hope that as we reflect on these names, we’ll be more readily prepared to receive Jesus into our hearts.
