2019년 12월 강해 본문은 임재와 관련이 있으며, 대림절/성탄절 시즌에는 하느님의 임재에 대한 하느님의 선물을 묘사하고 있다고 할 수 있습니다. 다시 말해, 하느님께서 우리에게 주신 선물은 하느님 자신입니다. 그리고 하나님의 자아가 임재하면 사람과 사물은 필연적으로 변화합니다.

The lectionary texts will speak of God’s presence that brings light and calls forth readiness and repentance and the Lord’s imminent immanence which brings peace and reconciliation. The texts will recall the Lord’s provision in the parched deserts of life and the challenging wildernesses of our journey, the Lord’s present of infant kings and of the infant Savior that expressed Immanuel God-with-us.

The scriptures will also remind us of the presence of the Lord in the grand and little things of life and history that shows God’s care for every part of creation, the presence of God’s Word and the coming of God’s Word made flesh, and the God who is absolutely personal and personally absolute as the Lord pursues us and all of creation in love for justice and righteousness.
