"Everybody Needs a Little Jesus" - Sermon
Manage episode 453741043 series 3067502
Read Isaiah 9: 1-7.
1. What does the word “Advent” mean? Why do we celebrate it every year in
the church?
2. Advent is often referred as the season of the “already” and the “not yet.”
What does that mean?
3. In what ways does this passage from Isaiah also represent the “already” and
the “not yet”?
4. Read Isaiah 9: 2 and John 1: 5 & 9. How do these passages relate to one
another?
5. Why is the “Light” so important? Why do you think some people resist the
Light?
6. Read Isaiah 9: 6, Luke 2: 10-12 and Luke 1: 32-33. How do these passages
relate to one another?
7. How do these passages from both the Old and New Testaments reinforce the
idea of “already” and “not yet” for the Advent season?
8. Why do we need “a little Jesus” (baby, child) rather than a big, strong,
ruthless warrior king?
9. Are you willing to give “a little Jesus” to those who are struggling in life or
simply having a bad day? Why/why not?
10. Do you believe a little Jesus can change someone’s day, or even their whole
life? Why/why not? (Hint: think about mustard seed of faith)
Reflection:
Lord Jesus, you are the Light shining in the darkness of this fallen, broken and
sinful world. We desperately need your Light and your Love to drive out the
darkness of hate all around us. We know that your love-light can sometimes be
overwhelming to people at first. Remind us to shine your Light gently enough for
people to first receive it, then brightly enough for them to walk in it. Help us to
all walk in your love-light together. And remind us, no matter where we are on
our faith journeys, that “Everybody Needs a Little Jesus.” We pray all of this in
your holy, precious and strong name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
