Third Sunday of Advent - Joy
Bible Passages
Zephaniah 3:14-20
God was FURIOUS! The people of Israel were behaving terribly. They built idols and worshiped them. They praised other gods. They broke God’s commandments again and again.

The bright gold temple that King Solomon built was filled with people worshiping other gods.

A worker in the temple discovered some old scrolls. He rushed to show them his boss. His boss raced to show them to King Josiah. Josiah couldn’t believe what he read in them. “We’re so far from God!” he exclaimed. “We’re breaking God’s rules! We’ve got to change!”

God sent the prophet Zephaniah to tell the people about God’s anger and sadness AND about God’s love. The people would be CLEANSED and SAVED. They would be GOD’S people again!

Zephaniah cleared his throat and called out, “SING PRAISE to God! SHOUT your thanks! REJOICE in God!”

He reminded God’s people, “You forgot about God. you built idols and worshiped other gods - not YOUR God! You broke God’s commandments. But God has given you a reason to CELEBRATE! God FORGIVES you! God is giving you a second chance!”

“You turned your back on God,” Zephaniah continued. “Now turn back to God! God still loves you. God forgives you. All around the world, people will know you follow God. YOU are God’s people!

Luke 3:7-18
     Mary Said, "With all my heart I glorify the Lord!

     In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior.

     He has looked with favor on the low status of his servant. Look! From now on, everyone will consider me highly favored

     because the mighty one has done great things for me. Holy is his name.

     He shows mercy to everyone, from one generation to the next, who honors him as God.

     He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered those with his arm. He has scattered those with arrogant thoughts and proud inclinations.

     He has pulled the powerful down from their thrones and lifted up the lowly.

     He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty-handed.

     He has come to the aid of his servant Israel, remembering his mercy,

     just as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to Abraham's descendants forever."
