“To live is Christ” means you don’t need a star to guide you today. You have something, someone, much better. You have the indwelling life of Christ guiding your heart.
An Ancestral Advent Day 24: The Son of Mary.
We don’t have to earn or deserve the indwelling life of Jesus, we simply have to receive it by faith. God’s favor has come to us in the person of Jesus. Will you receive him today? Will today be the advent of Christ into your heart?
TLIC DAILY. DAY 358. DECEMBER 24: YOUR SALVATION.
Has “to live is Christ” become your only hope in life and death? Has your union with Christ allowed you the freedom to say with Simeon, “Now I can depart in peace?”
An Ancestral Advent Day 23: The Son of Joseph.
Joseph was motivated to obedience by the hope of a savior. His adopted son would make it so that he could be God’s adopted son. And that same truth applies to you and to me this Christmas (and beyond).
TLIC DAILY. DAY 357. DECEMBER 23: ON EARTH PEACE.
So hear the invitation of God today to go and find the Christ child. The Prince of Peace. The one who takes all our sins and all our sorrows and turns them into everything good. The one that will take us to be with him forever. Run to him. Embrace him and embrace your alien God.
An Ancestral Advent Day 22: The Son of Zerubbabel.
Zerubbabel had a choice to make in his waiting. Continue to live in exile in Babylon, or do the hard work of helping others worship the Lord. Zerubbabel made the right choice. How? Because he heard the promise of God, he knew the purpose of God, and he trusted the power of God. The power of God’s grace.
