This a sneak preview of sorts. For our congregation's Advent and Christmas devotional guide this year we will be reading through the Book of the Prophet Isaiah in Advent. Isaiah is a favorite in the lectionary for Advent; readings from Isaiah appear 7 out of the 12 Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle. It is my hope that as we read through Isaiah together that we discover Christ anew.
However, Isaiah is not easy going. Even St. Augustine struggled with understanding this outstanding book. And yet it bears for us the Christ as does the manger, as Luther would say.
A program for reading through Isaiah during Advent may be found through the title link above.
