Scripture Sunday

John 14:27

 

²⁷ Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve

Envision the Vision

 

 

Christmas, a magical and miracle filled time of year. I encourage you to take time in your day and not just reflect on the magic of Christmas that we as humanity have, but to look beyond our natural set of eyes and picture the heavens.

What do you think heaven is like this time of year? How does heaven look with the celebration of Jesus’ birthday? Are these images even capable of the imagination? Can you see the beauty? Can you imagine the celebration? Allowing my mind to think on such beauty and joy is like a mini vacation from the reality this world brings.

As you sit back and enjoy your decorated Christmas tree and admire the stocking you hung with care, envision the vision of heaven this Christmas.

Scripture Sunday

 

Matthew 1:18-25

“This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.  Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.  But after he had considered this, 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."  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:  "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."  When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.  But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.”

Not from a Store!
