Advent: God With Us from The Village Church on Vimeo.



I just wanted to share this amazing video. I have already listened to it twenty times tonight and transcribed it. The video's message of waiting is a great example of one of the hardest forms of obedience. God's plan and timing is always perfect, but so often we struggle to understand or accept it. Sometimes our only response or answer is simply.... waiting, while knowing that a perfect and loving God is orchestrating all things for His glory and if we are called according to His purpose, our good. Thanks be to the good people at The Village Church and Vimeo for sharing this beautiful poem.

God had made Himself known for the glory of His name

and this child would one day rise as King

but it would not be by the sword or an insurgent regime

it would be by His life.

A life that would revolutionize everything the world knew

He would endure temptation and persecution all while staying true

humbly healing the broken, the sick and hurting, too

ministering reconciliation, turning the old to new

a life that would be the very definition of what life really cost

saying, “if you desire life, then your current one must be lost.”

and He would portray that with His own life as His Father would pour out and exhaust

and He would be obedient to the point of death, even death upon a cross.
