This Christmas season may we be the sons of Abraham. The children of faith. Faith in all the promises of God. Faith in the return of THE Son. And faith in our union with Christ that sustains us in our waiting by his love.
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
This Christmas season may we be the sons of Abraham. The children of faith. Faith in all the promises of God. Faith in the return of THE Son. And faith in our union with Christ that sustains us in our waiting by his love.
This advent, while we wait upon the Lord’s return, while we wait for God’s coming flood, may we run, not into the ark of Christmas, but into the ark of Christ. His faithfulness. His salvation. His rest.
Are you walking with God by faith in that same exact promise? The promise that the hero will crush death once and for all, and we will never die.
As we are back to waiting for his blessed return, may we never fail to call upon the name of the Lord. His name is Jesus. Because of our union with Christ, his name is written on our hearts. May it ever be on our lips.
Is your life in Christ a gift to the world? A beacon of hope? A message of mercy? A response to injustice? May it be so this Christmas season and for as long as we wait for our Lord’s return.
It is only when we experience “to live is Christ” that we will experience his peace on Earth. It is only when we see that “good will to man” is the man Christ Jesus that we will experience the grace of our union with God.
