LONGING FOR A SAVIOR
LONGING FOR A SAVIOR
JAKE STIMPSON | LUKE 1 | GABRIEL | MESSIAH | BIRTH OF JESUS | NATIVITY | MARY
In his book The Desire of the Everlasting Hills, author Thomas Cahill wrote, “Beneath the surface differences of each culture… there beats in human hearts a hope beyond all hoping, the hope of the hopeless… the hope of those who… seem to be waiting in vain, a hope – not for an emperor… but for a Just One.” After 400 years of silence, in the midst of political oppression and religious stagnation, the angel Gabriel appeared to a young woman named Mary. As he began to speak, he unleashed the most important news the world had ever heard, that the long-awaited Savior was coming to make all things right.
