The Gift That Keeps On Giving
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Dear Journey Family…
Merry Christmas you all!
Gifts, family, celebrations, cheer. But at the center of all, Christ. On the 25th and every day afterwards, beforehand and right now. How are you celebrating and remembering his birthday today? If we exchange presents, what present am I giving him? There is nothing he needs. There is nothing we can give him. There is something he wants though:
' “If you love me, keep my commands. ' John 14:15
But he also knows that we can’t keep his commandments on our own, that is why he follows that with:
'And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, ' John 14:16
Even after he gave us the way back to the Father, he doesn’t leave us alone, he keeps giving us gifts, and he gives us his Holy Spirit to be able to exist in this world pleasing him but also doing his mission.
We are saved by faith'; we also live by faith. Daily. It’s all a gift, we don’t work for it, we can’t pay it back we just accept it and surrender to him and his good and perfect will.
We hope you’ll have a time of reflection on this amazing truth during the weekend that can turn into worship.
