Faith is not opposed to waiting
December 21, 2015
Sermon on Luke 1:39-45, for the 4th Sunday in Advent, about Elizabeth and Mary, and their encounter rejoicing about the coming birth of Jesus, the Savior. What does it mean to wait in hope and joy for Jesus? Why is faith not opposed to waiting? What are the blessings of discipleship that Elizabeth and Jesus both proclaimed? How is an infant, still in the womb, and an aged woman, equally seen as vessels of the Holy Spirit, and recipients of His gifts?
