#256 - Kyle Thompson // Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus

We trace the longing for a Messiah from Abraham to Malachi to Christmas, then show how Christ’s reign within reshapes a life. A classic carol becomes a guide to hope, freedom from fear, and the daily work of sanctification.

• sword of the Spirit as the frame for truth
• why Wesley wrote the carol amid crisis
• Haggai’s promise and global longing
• Old Testament waiting across 400, 1,500, and 2,000 years
• lyrics that name fear, freedom, and rest
• New Testament fulfillment in Galatians 2:20
• sanctification as Christ living in us
• hope that moves from private comfort to public witness
