MERRY CHRISTMAS! • #christianity #jesus #god #christian #faith #jesuschrist #bible #love #church #christ #prayer #gospel #pray #holyspirit #truth #bibleverse #blessed #worship #winter #godisgood #amen #hope #jesussaves #grace #salvation #holiday #lord #christmas #scripture #Advent Day 24: Who can fulfill your every longing? • I have enjoyed digging into God's Word with you during the month of December! My #prayer is that you discover Jesus is the reason for this season. Not only today...but every day. He gives us purpose and meaning in life. Because of his birth, we have great joy! And I desire nothing more than for you to experience Him, anew and afresh today. • Despite our circumstances, we can have Love, Joy, Hope, and Peace. Because Jesus is eternal, His nature lasts infinitely. In other words, we can experience love, joy, hope, and peace for eternity. His gifts are different than anything this world has to offer. The gifts that the world gives are temporary and fleeting; whereas God's gifts will never pass away. • #LOVE His love gives without expecting anything in return. It is unconditional, selfless, sacrificial, and beneficial. No one can love us perfectly like Jesus can. His love is looking out for our best interest. He loved us first, so that in return, we can love too. His love causes us to give, without limits or demands. • #JOY We can rejoice and be glad because of our salvation. It can never be taken from us. In this world, we will have many struggles, but in the midst of them, we can experience true joy. This joy is not from this world. It comes from having a personal, intimate, one-of-a-kind love for Jesus. It is something that only He can give. • #HOPE Jesus is our hope and He will not disappoint. The promises in the Bible will come true. We have seen many of the promises already fulfilled, and we can be certain that the remainder will come true. This world is fleeting, but God is eternal. He gives us purpose and meaning to life. • #PEACE With temporal eyes, we look at the things around us to find comfort and find out that the peace of this world does not satisfy. We wind up feeling anxious, afraid, and inwardly longing for more. But with #Jesus, we look to things above. He fills our every longing. We can find peace through Jesus in the midst of our struggles. He is here today! • What are you most looking forward to this #Christmas?#goodmorning #verseoftheday #expectations #blessed #blog #share #motivation DAY 23: WHO IS JESUS? • Read Isaiah 9:1-7. This birth announcement arrives over 700 years in advance, announcing the good news of Jesus Christ. It tells us who He is... • Wonderful Counselor These words describe the character of Jesus. The word "wonderful" means "incomprehensible." In other words, He will cause us to be "in constant wonder and awe." We see this throughout His life...born of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:18), supernatural ability to heal, impactful teachings, a sinless life (Rom. 8:3-4), and the power to be raised from the dead (Mark 16). He counseled us to live counter-intuitively to the wisdom of this world...rejoice in suffering and persecution (Rom. 5:3-5), receive a blessing for being poor in spirit (Matt. 5:3), serve rather than be served (Matt. 20:28), and much, much more. • As our counselor, He knows us better than we know ourselves (John 2:25). His ways are always perfect (Ps. 18:30). He attains all knowledge and wisdom, including the nature and character of mankind (Psalm 139:1-2). He understands what we are going through and is available to listen at all times (Psalm 121:2-4). Jesus always has our best interests at heart (Psalm 36:7). • Mighty God God's power is unlimited (Job 36:2-4); He can do whatever He wants whenever He wants (Ps. 115:3). He knows no bounds (Job 11:8-18). He is the creator of all things (Neh. 9:6), the King of heaven (Ps. 95:3), the God of all mankind (1 Cor. 11:3). He is the only God (Is. 45:5-12). He is eternal (Gen. 21:33) and everlasting (Hab. 1:12), the Alpha and Omega (Rev. 21:6). He has been and always will be. He is able to do greater things than we can ask or fathom (Eph. 3:20). No one can keep track of all His miracles (Job 9:10). He answers to no one because no one is as Mighty as He (Ps. 50:9-10). • Everlasting Father The #Messiah is the father of time, and His fatherhood will never end (Rev. 1:8). The baby Jesus would be crowned King, the protector and provider of the children of #God. He is not limited by age or death. As a father, his love is unconditional (Eph. 2:4-5). As children of God, our identity is secure in Him (John 10:30,38). • Finish reading at www.sueaallen.com. #christmas #advent #Jesus ADVENT DAY 21: WHY WERE THE SHEPHERDS THE FIRST TO KNOW? • There are many days that I feel extremely ordinary. I do my best when it comes to keeping my house neat and tidy, folding laundry, and toting my kiddos around. On an average night, my meals consist of mac & cheese, tacos, or spaghetti (which doesn't measure up to the Food & Wine). In my family, I'm renown for my epic #Pinterest fails. I live in a quiet neighborhood in an upbeat town. Let's just say--I'm your every day, next door kinda girl. • For that reason...I absolutely adore that the birth of Jesus was first announced to shepherds. Ya know...the guys who live outside with the smelly, dumb sheep day-in-and-day-out. They weren't exactly extraordinary. Instead, they were everything "un" in my mind -- "uneventful", "uninfluential", and "unimpressive". • God uses ordinary people God could have come first to the religious leaders. The Pharisees and the Sadducees. They were well known for their rule-keeping and impeccable lifestyles. Legalists. Goody-two-shoes. Nearly perfect. Oh, and of course, socialites. But they didn't fit the description for the kind of person God was wanting to tell. • Of course, the royalty could have been at the top of the list. The leadership of the day. The kings and the queens and the royal guard. But nope, God had a different way. • Read Luke 2:1-21. God chooses the lowly and humble, overlooking power and pride. He knew the shepherds would stand in utter awe and amazement, and be fully cognizant of the honor bestowed on them. In our day, it would be like receiving a personal invitation to meet Queen Elizabeth. However, this illustration falls dreadfully short. Jesus is the greatest person that ever lived on this earth--the King of Kings of all mankind. Diety who became man. • But God knew the shepherds would be overcome with excitement and go and tell what they saw. They had a personal encounter with God in the flesh. Imagine it! And that's why they went forth proclaiming the Good News. Great Joy. A Savior...who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:11). • If you have a personal encounter with Jesus, who would be the person you tell? #verseoftheday #goodmorning #Jesus #Christmas #Advent
