Summary

I think of Isaiah the sixth chapter where Isaiah receives the vision of the throne room of God and there are angels around God and they're singing holy, holy, holy. We are gathering as one people to hear God's word, to have it given to us all who can hear and understand our gathered as a community in one spirit and one faith to hear what God has to say to us. We have a community of faith as a gift from God to have people to pray with us, to have people to pray for us, to have people that we can share God's word with and grow in faith and learn and interpret scripture together and to draw closer to the Lord. But if you think about the word holiday and it's a special day, it's a holy day, it's a day that's supposed to be set aside to worship the Lord. And if you have ever had a day in fasting, a day in prayer, a day where you devote your time to the reading of God's word, when you are in the midst of the living word of God, and hearing His word read or reading it for yourself, the time goes by so quickly. Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, God Himself came to take flesh upon Himself, to be born into and under the law of God so that He could stand under the weight of the law, that He could live under the burden of the law and yet live perfectly under that law.
