A Season of Hope and Anticipation: Advent Themes in the Four Gospels
9 am in the Chapel
• November 27: Matthew shows us that God is not absent or far removed but dwells with us as Emmanuel.
• December 4: Mark shows that God’s love and self-sacrifice can be seen clearly, even in times of desperation, struggle, and suffering.
• December 11: Luke paints a picture of hope and renewal and offers a message of reversal: the lowly will be raised up, and the great brought down.
• December 18: Instead of a birth narrative, the Gospel of John has a creation story, with Jesus featured as co-creator with God. Through Jesus, people experience God as light and life, living water, and bread of life.
