"When it matters most, Jesus and his people will finish first!"

"The first will be last and the last will be first." That's one of Jesus' favorite sayings. Isn't it interesting that God said it long before he was born. Isn't it interesting that those who knew the Scriptures, but didn't know Jesus, said it too! Isn't it interesting that Herod and Jesus lived it thirty years before Jesus would teach it? Isn't it interesting that Jesus gave us the Lord's Supper to remember that while Jesus died and shed his blood, on the first day of the week, Sunday, he rose.

When King Herod had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written: 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'"

Matthew 2:4-6

"Private sin."

There is no such thing as a private sin. Sin always hurts someone.

But Israel was unfaithful concerning the things set apart for the Lord. A man named Achan had stolen some of these things...

Joshua 7:1-25

"Jesus is Savior for all seasons."

Jesus is identified by many names stated or implied in the four Gospels... Notice how Jesus is identified in just this one passage: child, son, Jesus, great, Son of the Most High, King, son of David, and leader of Israel (Jacob). Jesus exhausts all descriptions, and yet chose to be limited to imperfect descriptions by becoming human. But this flood of names and descriptions helps us find Jesus a Savior in every trial and blessing of life.

The angel said to [Mary], "Do not be afraid, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever."

Luke 1:30-33

"The praise of our lives and of our lips."

While Mary's submission to God's will costs her in ways we can never imagine, for Jesus to come to life in the hearts of people today our attitude must be the same as her attitude was on this night of miracle and mystery. We too, must be willing to be the Lord's servant and offer him the praise of our lives and of our lips. In Jesus, the Lord has done great things for us!

Mary said, "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.... The Mighty One has done great things for me - holy is his name."

Luke 1:46

"God loves us incredibly and salvation is a precious gift."

Jesus first had to become the sins of the people before he could save them (us) from those sins (2 Cor. 5:21; 1 John 4:10). His own people rejected him before his forgiveness could be received. Jesus' gift of salvation was incredibly costly to him. It is a reminder of two great truths: God loves us incredibly and salvation is a precious gift.

An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Matthew 1:20-21

"Confession of sin brings the cleansing of forgiveness."

What can I do when I become aware of sin in my life?

But it we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us.

1 John 1:5-9

excellent verse, heaven... :D
God will forgive...the human race should learn by example...if our hearts are light as the feather, we are welcomed home.

The more you run, the more god wants you back; the further you fall, the higher you'll soar.

"God rewards those who give generously."

This week is Christmas. It's a time of giving, receiving, sharing memories. Yet, sharing and giving can be difficult... The very core of sinful human nature is the desire to get, not give; to accumulate, not relinquish; to look out for ourselves, not others. The Bible calls us to share many things, our resources, our faith, our love, our time, our talents, our money. Sharing is using and enjoying something we have with others.

To all of my online community friends, may you have a blessed time of sharing Christ's gifts to you this Christmas!!!

And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.

Mathew 10:42

Blessings,

it's not the gift...but the spirit with which it is given...
