Partakers Bible Thought – Christmas Antiphon 3 Radix Jesse

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-47asj-132dee4

The O Antiphons

In some parts of the church they use as part of their Christmas worship, these seven O antiphons. Each of them addresses Jesus Christ using a Messianic title drawn from Old Testament prophecy. Read backwards, the initials of each title in Latin form the words “Ero Cras” or “Tomorrow I come” – looking forward to the second coming of Jesus Christ.

The seven antiphons which we will look at individually over the next 7 days are:

• Sapientia – Wisdom
• Adonai – Holy Lord
• Radix Jesse – Root of Jesse
• Clavis David – Key of David
• Oriens – Morning Star
• Rex Gentium – King of the Nations
• Emmanuel – God with us

Today our Antiphon is O Radix Jesse.

3. O Radix Jesse – Root of Jesse, who stands as an ensign to the peoples, at whom kings stand silent and whom the gentiles seek: you came to free us, delay no longer!

Old Testament readings:

Jeremiah 23:5-6 “The days are surely coming,” says the LORD, ”when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: ’The LORD is our righteousness.’”

Micah 5:1 – Now you are walled around with a wall; siege is laid against us; with a rod they strike the ruler of Israel upon the cheek.

New Testament reading:

Revelation 22:16-17 – “It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let everyone who hears say, “Come.” And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wuz47-132c3a5

The O Antiphons – 1. Sapientia

In some parts of the church they use as part of their Christmas worship, these seven O antiphons. Each of them addresses Jesus Christ using a Messianic title drawn from Old Testament prophecy.

Today our Antiphon is Sapientia.

 

1. O Sapientia – Wisdom, you came forth from the mouth of the Most High God. You fill the universe and hold all things together in a strong yet gentle manner: you came to teach us the way of truth.

Our Old Testament readings are:

Isaiah 11:1-3 – A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—
and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.

Isaiah 28:29 – All this also comes from the LORD Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent.

Partakers Bible Thought – A Christmas Thought of Martin Luther

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-62bkv-132972b

A Christmas Sermon of Martin Luther

the angel said to the shepherds, “Don’t be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. This very day in David’s town your Saviour was born—Christ the Lord! And this is what will prove it to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great army of heaven’s angels appeared with the angel, singing praises to God:
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom he is pleased!”

(Luke 2:10-14 Good News Translation)

You have heard today the story from the Gospel of St. Luke 2:10-14 of how it came to pass that our Lord Christ was born and then also the message of the angel, who announced who the boy was who was born. Now we shall go on and take up the message of the angel. So for today you have heard only that the child was born and that he is the Lord and Saviour. Thus we spoke of the story, how it unfolded, and who the persons in it were.

This article is so high that even today it is believed by only a few. Nevertheless, God has preserved it even through those who have not believed it. For at all times in the monasteries and universities there have been disputations and lectures which dealt with the fact that Christ the Lord, born of Mary, is true man and God.
