Our season of anticipation continues with a very ancient promise that was already thousands of years old by the first Christmas. This was a promise to bless all the nations of the world by providing a Savior. That promise became flesh at Christmas and that Savior is our Savior, but we must always remember, He’s the Savior of the World!
