—Advent 2
By the Preaching of Repentance, We Are Prepared for the Coming of the Lord

Is 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13, Matthew 3:1-12, Psalm 72:1-7,
THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT
Advent 1 (1 December 2013)
Isaiah 2:1–5; Romans 13:(8–10) 11–14; Matthew 21:1–11 or Matthew
24:36–44; Psalm 122

The Lord Comes in Meekness and Humility to
Save Us Now
The Lord Jesus enters Jerusalem “humble, and
mounted on a donkey,” riding on “a beast of
burden” (Matt. 21:5), as He Himself bears the sins
of the world in His body. Now He comes by the
ministry of the Gospel to save us from sin, death,
the devil and hell. Therefore, we sing, “Blessed is
he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matt.
21:9). For we are called “to the mountain of the
LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob,” His holy
Church, “that he may teach us his ways and that
we may walk in his paths” (Is. 2:3). By His Word,
we “walk in the light of the LORD” (Is. 2:5). That
is to live in love, which “does no wrong to a
neighbor” (Rom. 13:10). We “cast off the works
of darkness and put on the armor of light,” for
“salvation is nearer to us now than when we first
believed” (Rom. 13:11, 12). Hence, the entire
Christian life is a time to wake and watch, “for
you do not know on what day your Lord is
coming” (Matt. 24:42).
Advent 1: The Second Advent of Christ
John 1:1-5, 9-14, Philippians 2:5-8, Hebrews 2:14-18
 If Christ had arrived with trumpets and lain

in a cradle of gold, his birth would have
been a splendid affair. But it would not be a
comfort to me. He was rather to lie in the lap
of a poor maiden and be thought of little
significance in the eyes of the world. Now I
can come to him. Now he reveals himself to
the miserable in order not to give any
impression that he arrives with great power,
splendor, wisdom, and aristocratic manners.
But upon his return on that Day, when he
will oppose the high and the mighty, it will
be different. Now he comes to the poor, who
need a Savior, but then he will come as a
Judge against those who are persecuting him
now.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, andthe Word
was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made
through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In
him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men.5 The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 9 The true light, which gives
light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and
the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He
came to his own,[b] and his own people[c] did not receive him. 12 But to all
who did receive him,who believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of
the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his
glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace
and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, ―This was he of
whom I said, ‗He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was
before me.‘‖) 16 For from his fullness we have all received,grace upon
grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God,[e] who is at
the Father's side,[f] he has made him known.
5 Have

this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ
Jesus,6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not
count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied
himself, by taking the form of a servant,[b] being born in the
likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he
humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of
death, even death on a cross.
4 Since

therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he
himself likewise partook of the same things, that through
death he might destroy the one who has the power of death,
that is, the devil,15 and deliver all those who through fear of
death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not
angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of
Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in
every respect, so that he might become a merciful and
faithful high priest in the service of God, to make
propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he
himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those
who are being tempted.
THE SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT
Advent 2 (8 December 2013)
Isaiah 11:1–10; Romans 15:4–13;

Matthew 3:1–12; Psalm 72:1–7
By the Preaching of Repentance, We Are Prepared for the Coming of the Lord
“John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, „Repent‟” (Matt. 3:1–2).
His preaching of repentance for the forgiveness of sins prepared people for the coming of
Christ into the world. John‘s work was historically complete with the incarnate advent of
Jesus, but his vital ministry continues in preaching Law and Gospel. The Son of God has
come in the flesh, “a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots” (Is.
11:1), and continues to bear the fruits of righteousness. His good tree of the cross is “a
signal for the peoples” (Is. 11:10), by which He calls the nations to repentance. “With the
rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips” (Is. 11:4), He slays the wicked and brings
the dead to life, making sons of Abraham out of lifeless stones. So also the “root of Jesse”
comes to us, “even he who arises to rule the Gentiles” (Rom. 15:12), that “we might have
hope” and be filled “with all joy and peace in believing” (Rom. 15:4, 13).

  • 1. —Advent 2 By the Preaching of Repentance, We Are Prepared for the Coming of the Lord Is 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-13, Matthew 3:1-12, Psalm 72:1-7,
  • 2. THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT Advent 1 (1 December 2013) Isaiah 2:1–5; Romans 13:(8–10) 11–14; Matthew 21:1–11 or Matthew 24:36–44; Psalm 122 The Lord Comes in Meekness and Humility to Save Us Now The Lord Jesus enters Jerusalem “humble, and mounted on a donkey,” riding on “a beast of burden” (Matt. 21:5), as He Himself bears the sins of the world in His body. Now He comes by the ministry of the Gospel to save us from sin, death, the devil and hell. Therefore, we sing, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matt. 21:9). For we are called “to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob,” His holy Church, “that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths” (Is. 2:3). By His Word, we “walk in the light of the LORD” (Is. 2:5). That is to live in love, which “does no wrong to a neighbor” (Rom. 13:10). We “cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light,” for “salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed” (Rom. 13:11, 12). Hence, the entire Christian life is a time to wake and watch, “for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matt. 24:42).

  • 4.  If Christ had arrived with trumpets and lain in a cradle of gold, his birth would have been a splendid affair. But it would not be a comfort to me. He was rather to lie in the lap of a poor maiden and be thought of little significance in the eyes of the world. Now I can come to him. Now he reveals himself to the miserable in order not to give any impression that he arrives with great power, splendor, wisdom, and aristocratic manners. But upon his return on that Day, when he will oppose the high and the mighty, it will be different. Now he comes to the poor, who need a Savior, but then he will come as a Judge against those who are persecuting him now. Excerpt from a sermon on the Nativity, 1530

  • 7.  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, andthe Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men.5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own,[b] and his own people[c] did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him,who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.  14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, ―This was he of whom I said, ‗He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.‘‖) 16 For from his fullness we have all received,grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God,[e] who is at the Father's side,[f] he has made him known.
  • 8. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant,[b] being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
  • 9. 4 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
  • 10. THE SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT Advent 2 (8 December 2013) Isaiah 11:1–10; Romans 15:4–13; Matthew 3:1–12; Psalm 72:1–7 By the Preaching of Repentance, We Are Prepared for the Coming of the Lord “John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, „Repent‟” (Matt. 3:1–2). His preaching of repentance for the forgiveness of sins prepared people for the coming of Christ into the world. John‘s work was historically complete with the incarnate advent of Jesus, but his vital ministry continues in preaching Law and Gospel. The Son of God has come in the flesh, “a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots” (Is. 11:1), and continues to bear the fruits of righteousness. His good tree of the cross is “a signal for the peoples” (Is. 11:10), by which He calls the nations to repentance. “With the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips” (Is. 11:4), He slays the wicked and brings the dead to life, making sons of Abraham out of lifeless stones. So also the “root of Jesse” comes to us, “even he who arises to rule the Gentiles” (Rom. 15:12), that “we might have hope” and be filled “with all joy and peace in believing” (Rom. 15:4, 13).
