Daily Advent DevotionalPreaching and PraisePreaching and Praise Luke 2:8-20Angels and shepherds occupy center stage on this Christmas day. They provide interpretations of and model responses to Jesus’ birth.The stage is not the emperor’s palace nor the Jerusalem temple. It is a “nothing-place,” fields “in the region” of Bethlehem (2:8). Shepherds were of low social status. They had no social prestige or power. They were suspected of being dishonest in letting flocks graze in fields belonging to other people.An angel preaches the first Christmas sermon that announces good news of a savior born...2024-12-2502 min

Daily Advent DevotionalGiving Birth in a World Out of JointGiving Birth in a World Out of Joint Luke 2:1-8We often celebrate Jesus’ birth in very individualistic and spiritual terms. Jesus has come to forgive my sins or be my friend or help me when things get tough. Interestingly, these are not the emphases of these verses. Here the focus is on visions of a different world.Jesus’ birth occurs in the context of an imperially exploitative act (2:1-3). Emperor Augustus orders a worldwide census. This counting of residents asserts power and political control to secure a world that b...2024-12-2402 min

Daily Advent DevotionalJesus’ Conception and BirthJesus’ Conception and BirthLuke 1:26-45; 2:9-11It’s Christmas week. Conception leads to birth. Angels are prominent.Several contrasts mark the angel’s announcement to Mary about her pregnancy and the angel’s announcement to the shepherds about Jesus’ birth. While an angel and shepherds greet Jesus’ birth with joy (2:10), that emotion is missing from the conception story. Mary is perplexed not joyful (1:29, 34), submissive not celebratory, meditative not exuberant (1:38). An unplanned pregnancy for an unmarried young woman in a culture where virginity was expected until marriage hardly merits joy. I...2024-12-2202 min

Daily Advent DevotionalUnprecedented PeaceUnprecedented PeaceIsaiah 11:1-10This reading comes from an 8th century (BCE) prophet, Isaiah, whose mission was to the southern kingdom of Judah.

Daily Advent DevotionalGrandparent StoriesGrandparent StoriesMatthew 1:1-17An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David the son of Abraham. Matthew 1:1The late New Testament scholar Doug Adams contrasted parent stories to grandparent stories. Parent stories tend to clean up and prettify their own youthful years in order to claim the moral high ground. “When I was a child, I never talked to my parents that way.” The grandparent version of the same story might be: “No, you did not talk back to me but instead gave me a grin that dr...2022-12-2102 min
