November's Book of the Month: "From the Realms of Endless Day: 25 Daily Devotions on the Promised Incarnation"
The whole Bible tells the story of redemption—the story of God’s redeeming grace in the person and work of Jesus Christ. From Old Testament to New Testament the point of Scripture is to reveal God’s salvation of sinners through Jesus Christ. That is why the goal of this book for this Advent is to take a brief flyover of the entire Bible. My prayer is that through this overview our faith can be strengthened and our resolve can be renewed in the truth that the Bible is one grand narrative showcasing God’s glory and His plan of redemption through the person and work of His Son, Jesus Christ.
The Incarnation of Christ is a grand mystery. Our minds cannot fully comprehend how God can become man to rescue us, His people, from the death and destruction that our sins rightly deserve. But this is the truth that the Bible shows us from Genesis to Revelation, that God has come to us. Jesus is “the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day.”
