No, being God’s adopted sons and daughters doesn’t make life any less difficult. Yes, we will suffer with Christ as Paul says in Romans 8. But we don’t fall back into fear. We move forward as sons.

An Ancestral Advent Day 12: The Son of Jesse.
I can honestly say that truth of a future peace in the presence of the Branch is what gets me through every day, not just the holidays, and especially the dark days. What about you?
An Ancestral Advent Day 11: The Son of Boaz and Ruth.
In a world of darkness, in the long waiting for the salvation of our God, will your love story, the story of your union with Christ, shine his light into that darkness around you?
An Ancestral Advent Day 10: The Son of Rahab.
Now we wait for the rescue. For the great advent. The world around us will shake and crumble. But our Beloved has seen our faith and will come just in time to bring us home to his land, his family, his heart.
An Ancestral Advent Day 9: The Son of Perez.
Christian, are you desperately reaching out your hand, grasping for what’s yours? Are you waiting impatiently for the glory God owes you? Are you managing your own rise to glory? Or are you waiting patiently for Jesus to burst forth out of your weakness in his timing?
An Ancestral Advent Day 8: The Son of Judah and Tamar.
In Christ, like Tamar we have the seed of righteousness in us. We are carrying Christ’s redemption within. His love and justice can be born in us today. May we courageously allow Jesus to be unveiled in our lives this Christmas season.
To Live is Christ
