Always new with special surprises! This beloved performance is the favorite of the winter season and makes for a memorable group experience! Choreographed by James Canfield, NBT's The Nutcracker is a magical journey through a larger than life world filled with waltzing flowers, nimble fairies, and moonlit snow. Glittering holiday cheer abounds as Clara and her handsome Prince travel from the warmth of her family home to a land of toy soldiers, mischievous rodents and exotic visitors from faraway lands.

Today’s Reading: Jeremiah 23:5-8
Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 9:8-10:11; 1 Peter 5:1-14

In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The Branch of Jesse’s stem. That’s King David’s family tree. Way down the line comes the Branch who is “THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Jesus, born of Mary who was of the house of David, betrothed to Joseph, who was also of the house of David. As true God, Jesus is David’s Lord, but as true man, He is of the house of David.

But look at that name! THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Do you have any righteousness? On your own, no. There’s nothing in you but sin and death. Hating God. Hating your neighbor. Breaking the commandments. Living UN-righteously before God. Not treasuring God’s Word. Not loving and serving others. Wanting everything else but what the Lord gives you. Loving yourself most of all. Definitely no righteousness there.

But do you have any righteousness? What is this Branch called― THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. That means the Lord is your righteousness. Jesus is your righteousness. His perfect life is your righteousness. His Baptism, in which He took on your sins, is your righteousness. His saving death where He was crowned with thorns is your righteousness. His resurrection from the dead is your righteousness. All that Jesus is and has done is your being right before God―your righteousness.

The Good News of Advent is that the Lord doesn’t leave us wallowing around in our sins trying to get some righteousness on our own. He comes Himself to be our righteousness. And you are saved and dwell securely in Him. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
