“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
God is the author of generosity. He gave the greatest and most perfect gift that first Christmas. It wasn't wrapped in a beautiful package and placed under a decorated tree. No, the perfect gift came in the flesh of baby Jesus and was laid in the little wooden manger. This perfect gift would eventually be wrapped with sufferings for our sins; crushed for our iniquities; and endure the cross so we could die to sin and live to his righteousness.
Christmas is a celebration of what God was willing to do to reach out to us because he loved us.
This time of celebration should point us in the same direction God is pointed in: seeking and saving that which is lost, reaching out to the people God has put around us.
God is calling you and me today to so generously love the world that we are willing to reach out to them even if it costs us dearly.
Thank you so much for generously partnering with us in the ministry as together we serve the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace!
Happy Holidays!
