Meekness & Majesty

Nov 27

This year our advent theme is meekness and majesty. We will be surveying the greatest journey in all of history. We will watch the Son of God go from majesty to meekness and then from meekness to majesty. Let me explain. The Son of God journeys from a high place of privilege in glory. He is infinitely deserving of eternal praise. Yet rather than having people wait upon him and be served, he makes the stunning decision to serve. He does not move up the corporate ladder to gain a position of prestige. He is already at the top. He willingly goes down, down, down from the majesty of heaven to the meekness of humanity. We watch in stunned silence as his journey takes him to the womb of a lowly virgin to the humiliation of a feeding trough. We watch with shock and surprise as the Son of God go from the cradle to the cross. But we also witness the greatest ascent in all of history: from a criminal’s death on the cross to the universal confession of Christ as Lord.
