Dec. 23, 2013 marks week 27 in waiting for our 'call' to tell us there are two precious children in Ethiopia who are our son and daughter. It's been a long haul, but the Lord is faithful and He will bring His work through to completion in His perfect timing.
This Christmas we are praising the Lord for the coming of His son, Christ Jesus. For the promise being fulfilled from the beginning of time itself, that God would make a way. A way for us never to be separated from Him eternally. A way for us to never fear or doubt or question our worth, because we are all God's special children and He wants to be near to us. Sin entered the world, tainted our relationship with our Heavenly Father, and the need of a Savior surfaced. A Savior to rescue us from our sinful nature- from ourselves really. The Way, the Savior, is the gift of Jesus, born humbly in a manger. Adopted into the linage of King David through an earthly man named Joseph. Fulfilling the prophecies from ages past, Jesus is born for all people. He lived and breathed here on earth to share the good news of the love our Father God. He lived here to experience first hand the joys, sorrows, pains, and temptations that all people face. His love was so great for us that His life mission was to die. A death that would cover all sin, the nature born in us to sin, and to bridge the divide that separates us from a perfect God. Conquering over sin, conquering over the consequence of sin which is death in eternal separation from God- Jesus did this for you. He loves you that much and wants you to be near to Him that much, that His life was made for it. Your sins will be forgiven- those from the past, present, and future. Never will you be abandoned, never will you be separated from His love, and forever you will be adopted into His family the line of a king.....if only you believe. Trust Him. Turn from the ways of this world, turn away from your sins, and set your eyes to the promises of the Christ.
John 3:16 "For God so loved this world, that whoever believes on Him, shall never die, but have eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Because He was born, we may live! Because we are adopted, we are His! Thank you Lord! A King is born! Hope is given to all people!
Merry Christmas everyone!
