It’s Advent season and we are fully anticipating the coming of Christ. This past Sunday we talked about Jesus being a Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6). We talked about the oft overlooked Greek name for Mighty God, El-Gibhor. When you look at this name, a word that you find in the definitions of both is strong. As I sat and listened, all I could think about that my God is strong strong. That’s more than just regular strong, that’s super strong.

I was so impacted by the concept that this baby that was coming to the world in Jerusalem that night was going to be strong strong. Who knew that this baby would come to the world so small and helpless, but then be the Savior of the world? That’s strong strong. We know because of the seasons that when Jesus came to the world, His whole goal was to die for our sins. That’s strong strong. They didn’t know that 2000 years ago. They had no idea that this baby would be so special.

There should be great hope in knowing that the God we serve is strong strong. I don’t know what you guys are going through right now, but knowing that the Savior of the world is coming to die for my sins because He was the only one who could should bring you much hope and joy. Even better, you can engage the world with this hope. I love having a God that is strong strong.
