This last lesson of Advent looks at “The Wisdom of
Christmas.” With an assist from Charlie Brown, we explore the ways in
which Prophets, Parents, Powers, and (Ordinary) People welcomed Jesus into the
world at the first Christmas. They teach us to Repent, Receive, Respect,
and Rejoice as we look ourselves to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.

“The Peace of Wisdom.” In
the season of Advent, we look forward to “peace on earth.” Yet, we often
fail to feel this peace in our own hectic lives. This lesson asks: what
is the peace of God, and how do we find it?

Proverbs
11:2 says, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes
wisdom.” Unfortunately, our culture
encourages self-sufficiency, self-promotion, and all sorts of self-centered
behaviors. We fail to recognize these as
prideful behaviors that prevent us from surrendering our lives to God. That single failure makes us fools. It is only when we truly humble ourselves
before God that Jesus can live his life through ours and impart his wisdom to
us. With humility comes wisdom.
