When mankind sinned against God, His first action was to step in and offer hope. Immediately. The first words out of His mouth were literally a curse on our enemy and a promise that a future son would finish the job and set us free (Genesis 3:14-15). The entire Bible is the historical unfolding of that promise. Imagine the expectancy and anticipation of that promise rising and falling in the people of Israel as they waited for the Messiah to come. Who would he be? What would He do? What did the promise really mean?  As we begin Advent this year, join us on the journey through history, poetry, and prophets as we unpack the hope given to mankind and it’s fulfillment in Jesus.
