God Loves You

God loves you! Jesus’ coming into this world and going through everything He did (including His death) was God’s gift to you. This is the heartbeat of the Bible and the wonderful message of Christmas. He loves you.

Isaiah 9:6 says, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Look again at what that verse says. “For to us….”. Are you catching it? It says, “for to us a son is given…” Jesus is a gift from God to us!

Suffering

“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour.” — John 12:27

These were Jesus’ words before He was betrayed and crucified. If anyone knows about suffering, it’s Jesus. His suffering was foretold all the way back to the book of Genesis. Isaiah 53 calls Him the “Man of Sorrows”.

Make it Right

“However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” Ephesians 5:33

Sometimes it’s human nature to build up a tolerance to discomfort. We have a physical ache or pain and we ignore it or stop worrying about it until we simply forget about it. We don’t actually fix the problem — we just learn how to deal with it. In some cases, ignoring these problems can have life changing effects.

Redeemed

The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You also are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.” John 18:17

Imagine how disappointed Peter must have been with himself the second those words left his lips.

Powerful

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.” (Ephesians 1: 3-4)
