Jesus is Standing at the Door of Your Heart This Christmas
Throughout His time on earth, two thousand years ago, Jesus was rejected. There was no room for Him in the inn, so He was laid in an animal feeding trough. He roamed from place to place like a homeless person, and He said of Himself: “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head”(Matthew 8:20). Today, Jesus is looking for room in your heart. Will you let Him in? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkbGNU3qT44
Anticipating AT1–December 25, 2020
Are we allowing our holy discontent to motivate us to healthy action, or are we letting our anger lead us into corrosive thought patterns or external outbursts that hurt a lot of innocent people in the process? Ephesians 4:20-27 invites us to a new way of managing our anger. We’re so delighted you’ve found […] Source: https://atoday.org/anticipating-at1-december-25-2020/
Pastor Wilson: God’s Greatest Gift to Us is Jesus Christ
In this video, let’s take a few moments together to consider the greatest gift ever given—Jesus Christ. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:19 “that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not putting their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” God was in Christ, reconciling us to Himself. Here we have an amazing picture of the plan of salvation—it is a picture of a God who takes the initiative to restore the relationship that He once had with human beings, a loss keenly felt when mankind chose to separate themselves from their Creator. Imagine that night, so long ago, in the hillside town of Bethlehem. A baby is born—not in a comfortable bed, but in a barn—a stable, surrounded by creatures He Himself designed. He was both fully human, and fully divine. We see God in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself through the helplessness of an infant, through the innocence of a Child, by the faithfulness of a Young Carpenter, through the compassion of a Great Healer, in the wisdom of a Respected Teacher, and through the humility of an innocent Man turning the other cheek. We see Him on the cross, arms outstretched, seeking to reconcile the world to Himself. God seeks reconciliation with us. That’s what He wants—more than anything. He longs for us to be with Him—not only in the future, but now. His work of reconciliation did not end at the cross—it continues still, as He serves as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary, ministering in the holy of holies, pleading His blood on our behalf. Christ is actively participating in this important ministry right now. How wonderful it is to know that the God of the universe, who was willing to humble Himself and come to this world where He experienced our trials and sorrows, is the same Jesus who is now our advocate and high priest ministering for us in a real heavenly sanctuary. We are all called to this special ministry, and God has empowered us through the Bible. It is through His word that we find the keys to reconciliation with one another—confession, forgiveness, hope, and healing. Whatever difficulties, disputes, frustrations, we are now facing, the Lord has made a way for reconciliation, for unity among His believers.
His humble yet focused life, His selfless ministry to others, His amazing sacrifice, are examples for us, encouraging us to set aside anything that keeps us from being reconciled to Him, and to each other. As we think about our wonderful Savior, whose birth we remember in a special way this time of year, let’s reflect on His ministry of reconciliation. God is the same today as He was yesterday. He is still in Christ, reaching His hand out in reconciliation, healing wounds, making people whole, offering each of us the opportunity to be united together in Him. And one day very soon, angels will again appear in the sky as they did so long ago above the hills of Bethlehem—this time not to herald the birth of the babe, put to accompany the King in his glory, coming to take His people home. Even so, Come, Lord Jesus! 00:00 Greetings
