God Has Visited His People

I love this time of year when we reflect upon the glory, the majesty, the wonder, and the mystery of God visiting His people. What grace and mercy was shown as the Son of God took on flesh and tabernacled among us! Who can fathom the reality of the eternal, self-existant God coming in flesh to walk among us and taste the struggles that we encounter? These thoughts never get old, yet they can definately make you dizzy!

And yet this is the truth that the children of God are hoping so desperately in! If we don't have Christ, then hope does not exist. Yet Jesus Christ most assuredly is the Savior of the world!
He came that we might have true life. He came that we might have forgiveness of sins. He came to fulfill the plan of the Father. He came that glory might arise out of suffering. He came so that death would be defeated.

Jesus Christ split history and conquered sin. He has declared: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). If we deny Him as the only Deliverer, then sadly we have denied the only way of deliverance.

I pray that anyone who does not love Christ; come to Him! In Christ there is redemption! You can be forgiven. God "is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should reach repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). You can taste a joy and a hope that has been born out of Heaven.

I pray that anyone who does love Christ; rejoice in Him! Abide in Him. Though the life of a Christian has struggles, temptations, and failings; seek to kill sin in His name by His empowering Spirit...and preach His Good News to the entire world!

Jesus Christ is the only Savior of the world. The Gospel is something that never gets old! It is the power of God unto salvation. It is the lens through which we can view reality. May we worship our Savior with joy, hope, and love because of who He is and what He has done!
