Advent Devotional 2021

For this is how God love the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NLT)
This last summer, Centenary’s summer devotional started with the introduction of the song “King of Kings.” It has become one of my favorite Easter songs and Christmas songs. I wanted to share all the lyrics with you today because it is a beautiful poem about the life of Jesus & how He changed humanity.
That’s why Centenary is here today. The message was passed down generation after generation. As we prepare for a new year, may we remember that more generations need to continue to hear the message: they are made in the image of God, they are dearly loved by God and He sent his Son to give them eternal life.
King Of Kings
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of Glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of kings
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who'd come
To the Father are restored
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this Gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint
By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
