Advent Day 16 – Mark 1:1–8: Commentary
Mark wastes no time. The gospel begins with a voice crying in the wilderness. John the Baptist prepares hearts, not stages. He calls for repentance, humility, and readiness for the One greater than himself. Advent reminds us that preparation matters—before Christ reigns, hearts must be cleared. John points away from himself toward Jesus, teaching us that true ministry always directs attention to Christ.

“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Advent Day 15 – Matthew 1:18–25: Commentary
The birth of Jesus begins not with triumph, but with obedience under pressure. Joseph faces public shame, personal confusion, and shattered expectations. Yet God speaks into his fear, revealing that what appears scandalous is actually sacred. Jesus is born into a broken situation to redeem broken people. His name—Immanuel—declares that God does not save from a distance; He comes near. Christmas begins with quiet faithfulness, not applause.

“Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭25‬ ‭ESV‬‬

ADVENT DAY 14: Commentary

Hebrews 2:5–18 (ESV)

Here the incarnation is described in detail: Jesus became like us to defeat death, destroy Satan’s power, and serve as our merciful High Priest. Advent celebrates that Christ shared our flesh and blood so He could be our perfect Savior—one who understands our weakness and helps us in temptation.

“For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.” 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, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 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. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2‬:‭5‬-‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

ADVENT DAY 13: Commentary

Isaiah 53 (ESV)

The Servant suffers, bears sin, and brings healing. Advent prepares us not only for Christ’s birth but for His redemptive suffering. The manger leads to the cross. Jesus came to be pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities. His birth is good news because His death and resurrection secure our salvation.

ADVENT DAY 12: Commentary

Daniel 7:9–14 (ESV)

Daniel sees the Ancient of Days and the “Son of Man” who receives dominion, glory, and an everlasting kingdom. Jesus claimed this title for Himself repeatedly. Advent celebrates that the eternal ruler has appeared—humble first, victorious and glorious forever. What began in a manger will culminate in universal worship.

““As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened. “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭7‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

ADVENT DAY 11: Commentary

Hebrews 2:5–9 (ESV)

Although humanity lost its dominion due to sin, Jesus—made “for a little while lower than the angels”—restores what we lost. Through His suffering and exaltation, He brings humanity’s destiny to completion. Advent celebrates that God took on human nature to restore the purpose for which we were created.

ADVENT DAY 10: Commentary

Hebrews 2:1–4 (ESV)

Having established Christ’s greatness, the author warns not to drift away. Advent invites attention and devotion; salvation announced by the Lord Himself is confirmed by signs and wonders. The miraculous birth of Christ is part of that divine confirmation. This season calls us to listen carefully and anchor ourselves to the gospel.

“Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

ADVENT DAY 9: Commentary

Psalm 102 (ESV)

The psalmist laments his frailty but finds hope in God’s unchanging nature. Hebrews 1 again applies this to Jesus, revealing that the eternal, unchanging Creator is the very One born in Bethlehem. Advent highlights the wonder of the incarnation—the eternal God took on mortal flesh to save perishing humanity.

ADVENT DAY 8

Psalm 45 (ESV): Commentary

This royal psalm speaks of a majestic, divine King whose throne is eternal and whose reign is in righteousness. Hebrews 1 applies this directly to Jesus. Advent reminds us that Christ is the beautiful King, full of truth, humility, and righteousness. His coming brings joy, justice, and a kingdom unlike any other.

12/07/2025

ADVENT DAY 7: Commentary

Psalm 110 (ESV)

This psalm blends kingship and priesthood. The Messiah sits at God’s right hand and rules with divine authority, yet also serves as a priest forever. Jesus fulfills this perfectly—He is both reigning King and interceding High Priest. Advent celebrates a Savior who not only came near but continually mediates for His people.

12/06/2025

ADVENT DAY 6: Commentary

Psalm 2 (ESV)

Psalm 2 announces God’s decree that His Son will rule the nations. Though the world resists God’s reign, the Father installs His King on Zion. Jesus is this Messiah, and Advent marks His arrival. The psalm ends with an invitation: “Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.” Advent invites us to bow in reverence and rejoice in the safety offered by the true King.
