The Gospel today comes from the beginning of Matthew (1: 1-17). This is the genealogy of Jesus. As I reflected over the passage this morning, God impressed upon me that He has a plan. The genealogy shows how God worked to bring salvation to the world from Abraham to David, through the kings of Israel and during and after the Babylonian exile - all culminating in "Joseph, the husband of Mary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Christ." Amazing.
And God has a plan for me too. And God has a plan for everyone. Advent is a season of hope. Hope is based on God's plan and energy in our lives. This message gives me encouragement as I prepare to strike out to a new place and a new culture tomorrow.
