SUMMARY:Fourth Sunday in Advent (Three Year Lectionary—Series B)
DESCRIPTION:2 Samuel 7:1–11, 16\nPsalm 89:1-5 (19-29)\nRomans 16:25–27\nLuke 1:26–38\nThe Lord Builds a House for David: Jesus Christ Who Comes in the Flesh\nWhen King David “lived in his house and the Lord had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies,” he piously supposed that he would build a house for God (2 Sam. 7:1–2). But the Lord would turn it around: He would establish a house for David and an everlasting throne. This He has done not only for David, but also for all His people, in the Son of David, Jesus Christ, “conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary” (Apostles’ Creed). That holy child, the incarnate “Son of the Most High,” receives “the throne of his father David” and begins to reign “over the house of Jacob forever” (Luke 1:32–33). Having given Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, His body is the true and eternal temple of God in which His people have their own place of peace and rest. That is “the mystery that was kept secret for long ages” but is now “made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God” in order that we may have faith and life in Christ (Rom. 16:25–26).\n
