Series: 2025 Advent
Second Sunday of Advent - Jesus as Our Great High Priest
December 07, 2025 | Callan Crossland
As we journey through the Advent season - anticipating the coming of Christ - it's natural to turn to the New Testament, where Jesus is clearly declared our Great High Priest. Verses in Hebrews and elsewhere resound with this truth, offering comfort, hope, and assurance. But the story of Jesus as our High Priest did not begin in Bethlehem, nor solely in the pages of the New Testament. Rather, it echoes from the earliest chapters of Genesis, revealing that God’s plan for our redemption through Jesus was woven into history from the very start.

Series Information
Written in 1744 by Charles Wesley, Come Thou Long Expected Jesus was penned during a time of great social inequity and yet a spiritual hunger that resulted in a great revival through him and his brother John. The hymn was written from Haggai 2:7, “I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Our Christmas series “Long Expected Jesus,” looks at Jesus from the lens of our Prophet, Priest, Shepherd, King, and Savior. It captures both the longing and the joy of Christmas!
