Advent Day 10: Peace
SECOND WEEK OF ADVENT – TUESDAY December 10, 2024
READ Genesis 22:1–18
God promises that through faithful Abraham “all nations on earth will be blessed.” This is astonishing news! God is going to save his people through Abraham’s family.
REFLECT
God makes promises to his people throughout the Old Testament. A rainbow appears as a promise that God will never again send a flood to destroy the world. God promises to make Abraham a great nation. God promises deliverance to the people of Israel during Passover. God makes and keeps his promises again and again. And among these promises, there is an even greater promise — God promises a Messiah, a deliverer, an anointed King.
PRAY
Pray that you would learn to trust God and to love him more than anything else.

Discover the deeper message in the parable of the Prodigal Son
In The Prodigal God, Tim Keller examines the way Jesus presents the parable to speak both to those who run from God and to those who try to earn his love by being good. It reveals the heart of the gospel—a message of hope for both the rebellious younger brother and the judgmental older brother, and an invitation for all to experience God’s grace.
