Born a Child and Yet a King
At Christmastime, Advent calendars serve as tangible reminders of expectation slowly moving toward fulfillment. Likewise, the Old Testament records how the failures and weaknesses of God’s people created a longing and a need for a perfect King to come.

In Christ alone we find our long-expected, perfect King.
