Second Sunday in Advent.
D – Deliverance.

The coming of Jesus brought freedom from the shackles that bind
us and prevent us from living a whole and full life. Such chains could be money,
drugs, greed, sex and the inability to love and accept love. [Romans 13: 8-10].
Indeed, we could be enslaved by satanic forces, Jesus can deliver us from these as
well, which is why we say in the Lord’s prayer ‘Deliver us from [the] evil [one] Matt.
6:13.
When Jesus returns he promises that he will deliver us from wars Isa.2:4, pain and
suffering and death Rev.21:4 All we have to do is to:-

darkness and put on the armour of light. To wake up from our slumber and let our
lives be:-
D – Directed.

By that light – just as the wise men were directed by the star. Let
Jesus be your ‘guiding star’!
