This Sunday, we will introduce our Winter (Advent) series with discussion of the tiny baby. We will trace the promises in Genesis for a line of kings and discover the royal lineage of the tiny baby born in Bethlehem.Jesus is a descendent of Abraham, Judah, King David and another fourteen kings after David.In his short life of public ministry, Jesus proclaimed ‘the Kingdom of Heaven has come near’ to the people of Israel. Clearly, the kingdom is near because Jesus has arrived on Earth to live among us, fulfill God’s laws and call upon God’s people. Jesus proclaimed, prayed, demonstrated, explained and gave his life for the Kingdom. But make no mistake, the Kingdom of Heaven is his kingdom.So the question is: who is the ruler of my life?“During the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:1-2
