Advent in Israel: The Places of Israel & the Story of JesusNäide

Day 24 - Judean Desert
From Abraham indeed came a large nation that continued to grow while in captivity in Egypt. They groaned under the weight of slavery for 400 years. But God sent Moses, a Hebrew man raised in Pharaoh's court, to declare that the Egyptians must let the people go.
The plagues finally convinced Pharaoh's hard heart to let the Israelites go. They escaped Egypt, but because of their own disobedience and unbelief, they wandered for 40 years in the wilderness of Judea.
However, God did not abandon them. He sent them bread, called manna, and meat to eat everyday. The daily bread that he sent was a reminder that one day He would send the ultimate Bread of Life who would satisfy their spiritual hunger.
How does Christ satisfy our spiritual hunger?
About this Plan

As we enter the Christmas season, we are all eager to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the point in history where God descended into humanity to bring life to a broken world. Each day leading up to Christmas, we will provide an overview of the biblical significance of a location in Israel, along with a devotional prompt that will connect that location with the life of Jesus in Scripture.
