Advent Week Two—Isaiah 9.6,7 His Grace, our Gratefulness

Theme's from Sunday:

• Jesus' grace enables us to walk in the Spirit and to be grateful.
  
• The nature of this child, the Son of God, being pre-existing God!
  
• The nature of Jesus' work: as lead by the Spirit, Jesus brings His justice among the nations.
  
• He calls us to Himself to provide rest through grace, we in turn call on Him (calling Him the wonderful names in Isaiah 9.6).
  
• Jesus as our High Priest listens to the Father and speaks to us, allowing us to walk/live by the Holy Spirit.
  

Corresponding passages to look up and study through the week:

• John 1.1-18—vs. 1 Jesus is eternal, He has always been; vs. 14, 16, & 17 Jesus came full of grace and truth.
  
• John 1.26-34—Jesus' baptism and anointing in the Holy Spirit.
  
• Isaiah 11.1-3a, 10—Spirit of the Lord on Jesus as He calls us to Himself.
  
• Isaiah 61.1-3 & Luke 4.14-21—Jesus' ministry bringing rest and healing.
  
• Exodus 29.42,43 & Hebrews 10.21—Jesus as our High Priest.
  

Remember, as you pray for the Holy Spirit to illumine your time in the Word:

• Listen—what is the Lord saying to you through this study?
  
• Adore—how can you love Jesus more through what you have learned?
  
• Obey—how can you cooperate with His leading; how does He want to move in your life as you apply these truths, on which you have been meditating?
