We don't do this just to be \u003cem\u003epolitically correct\u003c\/em\u003e, but because we believe it's important theologically to not continue to use only masculine and patriarchal language for a God who surpasses all of those categories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInclusive Language in Isaiah 9:6 specifically\u003c\/strong\u003e: We love Handel's \u003cem\u003eMessiah\u003c\/em\u003e and because many of us grew up listening to that, or because we heard the King James Version of the text growing up in churches, we might be more familiar (and maybe more comfortable) with using the names of \u003cem\u003eWonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eHowever\u003c\/em\u003e, because of our commitment to inclusive language, we wanted to find a different translation for those names, which we did in the \u003cem\u003eInclusive Hebrew Scriptures. \u003c\/em\u003eThe names that we use in these posters are as follows: Wonderful Counselor, Strength of God, Eternal Protector and Champion of Peace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach poster corresponds to a different set of characters from the birth story and includes a different name from Isaiah 9:6 (with all of the names being wrapped around the candle in the fifth poster). I'll share a bit more about each poster below, but first, we think a brief theological note from Walter Brueggemann's book \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2dxUu6f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNames for the Messiah\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e might be helpful:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"Christian have claimed from their beginnings that Jesus was the Messiah foretold in the Hebrew Scriptures...Jesus did not replace or deny the expectations of a messiah previously told. He fulfilled them...Isaiah 9:2-7 is a well-known oracle, a divine utterance...that uses four royal titles...As we ponder the use of those titles with reference to Christmas and the birth of Jesus, two things become clear. First, in the witness to Jesus by the early Christians in the New Testament, they relied heavily on Old Testament 'anticipations' of the coming Messiah. But second, Jesus did not fit those 'anticipations' very well, such that a good deal of interpretive imagination was required in order to negotiate the connection between the anticipation and the actual bodily, historical reality of Jesus.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe oracle of Isaiah 9:2-7 is well known among us because of Handel's \u003cem\u003eMessiah\u003c\/em\u003e. The oracle did not \u003cem\u003eanticipate \u003c\/em\u003eor \u003cem\u003epredict\u003c\/em\u003e Jesus. There is no doubt that it pertained to the eighth century BCE, the time of Isaiah the prophet. While the oracle might have been utilized to announce and celebrate the birth of a new royal prince in Jerusalem, namely Hezekiah, it is more probable that it pertained to the coronation of the new king.\" (Brueggemann, Walter. \u003cem\u003eNames for the Messiah: an Advent Study.\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOkay, so that was more than a brief note, but we think it's helpful in framing how we are approaching these posters theologically. Now to a few details about each poster:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWonderful Counselor\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Magi (three wise men) are paired with the name \u003cem\u003eWonderful Counselor. \u003c\/em\u003eThe Magi were wise people and sought to learn from the stars. The verse that accompanies the image is \"The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom.\" Being able to be a \u003cem\u003ewonderful counselor\u003c\/em\u003e is more than just attaining knowledge, or knowing the science of stars...but rather it is about something deeper: \u003cem\u003ewisdom.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength of God\u003c\/strong\u003e: The shepherds are paired with the name \u003cem\u003eStrength of God. \u003c\/em\u003eWhile you certainly would have to be strong and capable to be a shepherd, the image of a shepherd isn't what you would traditionally assume with names like \u003cem\u003eStrength of God\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eMighty God\u003c\/em\u003e. But rather, because Jesus said, \"My kingdom is not of this world\" - we should expect Jesus to turn things upside-down at times, and so we see the image of a shepherd being used to describe God.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEternal Protector\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mary and Joseph are paired with the name \u003cem\u003eEternal Protector. \u003c\/em\u003eAs they seek to parent and protect their newborn child, one of the ways we think about God is that of an eternal mother\/father\/parent. And yet, while God seeks to protect and watch over us, Jesus also wants to have a more intimate relationship with us than just standing above us and protecting us. Jesus said, \"Let the little children come unto me.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChampion of Peace\u003c\/strong\u003e: Finally, the angels are paired with the name \u003cem\u003eChampion of Peace\u003c\/em\u003e. The angels came to announce Jesus' birth to the shepherds, and to bring a word of peace. And yet, Christ, who is the champion of peace, brings peace to us in ways that often surprise and confound us. Jesus says, \"My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the fifth poster depicts the celebration and announcement of the birth of the Christ child: \"Joy to the world! For unto us, a child is born!\" And then highlights the four names, along with \u003cem\u003eMessiah\u003c\/em\u003e, that wrap around the candle. We are excited to see the various ways that you can use these in your family or faith community, and we hope you'll continue to share with us photos and stories about how you use the posters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat about 8.5x11 coloring pages?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8.5x11 versions of these coloring posters are available as a separate product.

Jesus is born amid upheaval and historical change and among people who seemed powerless. But when the world feels hopeless, Advent reminds us God is with us. In chaos, God is with us. In suffering, God is with us. In uncertainty, God is with us. In whatever our family and our community endures, God is with us. This theme invites you and your congregation to explore how Immanuel, God-with-us, brings hope, peace, love, and joy to your home and community, especially during hard times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdditional \u003cem\u003eGod With Us\u003c\/em\u003e resources:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow are additional products that connect with our \u003cem\u003eGod With Us\u003c\/em\u003e theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.illustratedministry.com\/products\/an-illustrated-advent-for-families-god-with-us\"\u003eAn Illustrated Advent for Families: God With Us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.illustratedministry.com\/products\/god-with-us-an-illustrated-devotional\"\u003eGod With Us Advent Devotional\u003c\/a\u003e (both the Illustrated and Text-only editions)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.illustratedministry.com\/products\/god-with-us-coloring-page-poster\"\u003eGod With Us Coloring Page \u0026amp; Poster\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Illustrated Ministry","offers":[{"title":"101–500 members","offer_id":40080157802594,"sku":"","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1–100 members","offer_id":40080157835362,"sku":"","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500+ members","offer_id":40080157868130,"sku":"","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1393\/3153\/products\/Liturgy-GodWithUs.png?v=1664999947"},{"product_id":"an-illustrated-christmas-story-set","title":"An Illustrated Christmas Story Set","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Illustrated Christmas Story Set\u003c\/em\u003e is a fun and meaningful activity for families to do at home leading up to Christmas and through Epiphany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvent and Christmas are when we prepare ourselves for the arrival of baby Jesus and celebrate his birth. \u003cem\u003eAn Illustrated Christmas Story Set\u003c\/em\u003e is convenient to add to your other Advent\/Christmas\/Epiphany plans or use as an easy stand-alone craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect from the Matthew 1–2 or Luke 1–2 gospel passages to help retell the story of Jesus’ birth.
