Read Hebrews 6:13-20
As we look forward to this Christmas we remember and celebrate the birth of our Lord. It is also a season to rejoice in the fulfilled promises of God.
He promised Abraham a son and then made him the father of a nation. He promised his people a messiah and then sent his only Son to establish His kingdom. This advent season take time to dream and imagine the role you play in this kingdom. We are not simply a gathering of individuals; we are an individual gathering of his kingdom. Our hope is that one day we will no longer be separated from our Priestly King. On that day, all of the kingdom will be gathered as one and that kingdom will not pass away. The story of the manger makes possible the scandal of the cross. The scandal of the cross makes possible the first fruits of the resurrection. We pin our hope to this story but we do not do so without evidence. God created a nation from one man. Like wise, He established his kingdom through one Man.
Pray for the persecuted. Give to those in need. Love all. Praise our Lord for he alone is worthy to be praised.
