JESUS IS EVERYTHING

We are so amazed at what the Lord has been up to in the ministry this last month. As we head into the Christmas season we reflect and celebrate the gift of our Lord God in heaven. Reflecting on the fact that He loved us so much that He did not withhold His own Son. Sending Jesus into our lost and broken world, Emmanuel God is with us! It is this time of year when people's hearts grow warmer, their moods lighten and for Christians we celebrate the
salvation given to us through the blood of the Lamb. God’s perfect gift. The one who although he was in heaven with God, He did not despise the human condition, He did not shrink back from living as a man, He did not even rescue Himself when the time came for Him to be abused, ridiculed, beaten and hung on a cross to become the perfect sacrifice for man’s sin.
Jesus embraced the call of the Father at all costs to fulfill His will and plan. The Father gave freely this part of Himself that He loved so much, because the redemption of man was so very important to His heart. I wonder sometimes what gift could I give, what should I offer in response to this great love and sacrifice, how can I reflect the love of Yahweh that changed my life for all eternity?
I am reminded that there is nothing equal to what I have received. That the best thing I can give to God is to let Him be all that He wants to be in me. To become the image and reflection of Christ by taking up my own
cross, dying to myself and letting the Spirit of the Most High God reign in me and through me! Jesus gave it all, and that is our call, not some elaborate gift that I might give to strive to meet my obligations to God. But Jesus wants it all, He said if we cannot lay down our life, take up His cross and follow Him, then we are not worthy to be His disciples. My encouragement to us all at this important holiday is to engage Christ like never before, to understand what His will for our lives would be. To focus everything that we are, that we built, that we have into the fulfillment of His call and His Kingdom on Earth. Run your race like one who wants to get the crown! This life is the only time throughout all of eternity that you get to sacrifice everything for the King. Do not be distracted, do not be confused, do not fail to give everything for the One who gave everything for you!
