Hope
Read: Isaiah 9:1-7
Sing: Joy to the World
Memorize/write out: Isaiah 9:6
Sermon: A Child is Born & Name Above All Names
AS we wrap up another Advent season shortly, it stands to be said Jesus changes everything. We approach Christmas typically with a quiet, awe struck wonder. A babe in the manger. Yet cosmically, the Lord has come to earth. The angels sing! They burst forth into praise. The One who was always came in the form of a man. The Son of God walked among the people. At the garden God walked with His people, and yet again, the Lord would come and walk in the midst of mankind. We have such glorious hope when we stand back and take it in. Christ came- to save a people from their sin.
Daily, I receive an email called, "Matthew Henry's Method for Prayer," it is truly wonderful. It walks you through scripture and teaches you to pray it. Today's rang so true, so deeply, I thought I would share them and simply leave it at that as we meditate through the names of Jesus in Isaiah 6.
"Let me have Christ in me, the Hope of glory,and never be shifting from the Hope of the Gospel; but enable me to show earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end. Colossians 1:27,1:23 & Hebrews 6:11"
"Let me be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and let that hope be to me as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, entering into the inner place behind the curtain, where the Forerunner has gone on my behalf. 1 Peter 1:3, Hebrews 6:19-20"
May you hold fast to the Hope of Jesus Christ this Christmas- knowing that the Forerunner has come...and will come again.
