Merry Christmas!

Oh, what a story. Thank you for joining me in this journey through Advent! We’ve spent this season appreciating what Jesus has done for us, by imagining what it would have been like if He had not come. Praise Him that He did! What joy and wonder. We barely hit the tip of the iceberg as we’ve journeyed, but just in our time together, we’ve seen His coming accomplished:

Spiritual Life

   Spiritual Light

      Spiritual eyes to see

         Spiritual ears to hear

             Ability to discern the fragrance of His beauty and victory

                Ability to taste the wonder of Him

                   To know His touch

                      Hope

                         Assurance

                            Love

                               Joy

                                  Peace

                                     Patience

                                        Kindness

                                           Goodness

                                              Faithfulness

                                                 Gentleness

                                                    Self-control

                                                       Reconciliation

                                                          Clarity

                                                             Redemption

                                                                Cleansing

                                                                    Inheritance

Because He did come, just look at our future that is restored! The story ends triumphantly for those who put their trust in Him.

“Therefore they are before the throne of God,

and serve him day and night in his temple;

and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;

the sun shall not strike them,

nor any scorching heat.

For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,

and he will guide them to springs of living water,

and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Revelation 7:15-17

Rejoice! Whether today is lovely or hard, He stooped down to be with us – Immanuel.  Oh, Lord, there is none like You.

Merry Christmas to all and Lord, thank You! May many choose Your way of salvation that we would be ready when You come again. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
