He Is Christ the Lord – Advent Devotional

Click here for the booklet version of our devotional. Dear Friends of Thirdmill, Welcome to Thirdmill’s Advent devotional series for 2024. We are delighted that you’ve chosen to join us as we prepare to celebrate our Savior’s birth! This year, we’ve entitled our series, “He Is Christ the Lord,” echoing the angel’s announcement to the shepherds on the night Jesus was born. Over the next few weeks, we’ll reflect on what Jesus’ birth meant for all of us, far beyond the walls of that tiny stable. We’ve arranged each weekly devotional in three parts—a written reflection, a short accompanying video, and some personal application questions to help you process what you’ve read and seen. The material comes from Thirdmill’s highly regarded seminary curriculum and some of my own personal stories and reflections, and we pray it will enlighten you, bring you joy, and lead you into a deeper relationship with our Savior. Take some time this season to pray and reflect on the true meaning of Jesus’ incarnation as you recognize the enormity of God’s love for us from eternity to eternity. As the prophet Isaiah wrote:

“From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.” (Isaiah 43:13, NLT)

In a world that may feel dark and uncertain at times, Jesus’ birth reminds us that God is in control and his eternal plan will be fulfilled. We are never abandoned and left to our own devices. God himself came to earth to rescue us. And no one can undo what he has done. May God bless you and your loved ones this Advent season and beyond, Cindy Martin
