A
reminder for today
"But
as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at
last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! I will see
him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the
thought!” (Job 19:25-27)
How are you my dear friend? It is only 5 days until
Christmas and more and more people are going on leave. Our offices are getting quieter
and suddenly there seem to be more parking in our basement. In the shops you
hear Christmas music and off course the shops are crazy with people buying
Christmas presents. Are you having the same experiences and did you do your
Christmas shopping or are you still going to do it? Well I know of two little
boys that are going to be very excited when they are going to open their
presents and thinking about that made me think about Jesus.
You see, to open your heart and except Jesus is like
getting a gift on Christmas. As you start to unwrap the wonder of His love and
you open possibilities of having a living God in you, you start to feel the
excitement of what you received and you can feel how your feet just wants to
dance with joy. Job says here in Job 19 that he knows his redeemer lives. So
today I just want you to know or remember that Jesus lives and we worship a
living God.
Standing on our own we will fail, but with Jesus in our
lives we can do anything. My old self has
been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and
gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
When we open the gift that is Jesus we become a new
person leaving behind our old self. Let us celebrate the new life we have in
Jesus by sharing it this Christmas. Let all see that Jesus is a life changing
decision and that He lives in us wherever we go.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
