“And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh
shall see it together:
for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”
(Isaiah 40:5)
There is that moment of wonder that
often comes when something so eagerly anticipated is suddenly realized.
The tenor’s words of encouragement give way to the chorus’s entrance to
the oratorio as they proclaim the glorious news of Isaiah 40:5. Here, the good news is that God’s promise
will be fulfilled. The anticipation of
Advent will give way to the realization of the Christ Child’s birth.
Prayer: Faithful God, in this
season of anticipation, may the joy of the coming Christ be revealed in
us. Amen.
