The Lamb and the Altar

One of the Big Goals of this series: to foster a sense of wonder…to help us marvel and be amazed. And I THINK that’s appropriate to the Season (not to get all Norman Rockwell on you or sentimental) but it IS okay at this season to become a little child-like.

So let’s see what happens. Today, we sort of define our terms – Advent, Tabernacle, Incarnation…and a lot more (this section in John is full of weighty words)… so, we’ll just try to get on solid footing with words.

Second, we’ll BEGIN to make some connections between parts of the Bible you may not have seen before – connect Exodus (what we’ve been seeing on Sunday mornings) with Christmas/coming of Jesus Christ.

Third, we’ll try and take our first steps in the direction of wonder: an invitation to astonishment for a generation that’s seen it all…on our devices!
