Let's talk Hymns of Longing.

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode, I introduce our new series Hymns of Christmas; we will be journeying through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Today, we start with Israel's longing for the Messiah, which began all the way back in the Garden. I walk through Micah 5:2-6 to show a prophecy that Israel could hold on to during God's silence during Greece and Rome's occupation. Israel longed for a Serpent Crusher Messiah who would save them from captivity, and the hymns Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel and Come Thou Long Expected Jesus capture that longing that Israel had.
