The service of the Word and prayer for the Fourth Sunday in Advent (December 20, 2020). In the Annunciation of our Lord (Luke 1), God affirms the promise He made to King David that a descendant would reign upon the throne forever. David did not get to see this fulfilled, but he believed it. So also the Virgin Mary when chosen by God to bear the Christ child also simply trusted God’s Word to be so. May we also hear and treasure God’s Word that still dwells among us today!
