Expecting a Feast

When’s the last time you were pleasantly surprised by something? A $20 bill in your pocket? A cancelled work meeting? An unexpected visitor? That’s what happened when Jesus arrived. Nobody was expecting the blessings he would bring. But they should have been, if they were paying attention to the prophets. Amos predicted a time of spiritual famine, and only Jesus could end the famine by bringing a feast of God’s glory, truth, and grace.
