GOD IS NOT DONE

“Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” ~ Genesis 18:14   REFERENCE: Genesis 18:1-14   Although God dwells in eternity, He gives us time to govern events and measure our activities—a day before the Lord is like a thousand years to us, and vice versa. Scripture says, “Known to God from eternity are all His works” (Acts 15:18). Whatever God does in eternity will at some point correspond with a date on our calendar; it will manifest at an appointed...

WHERE IS THE NEWBORN KING?

“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” ~ Matthew 2:2   REFERENCE:  Matthew 2:1-6   Merry Christmas! As the world celebrates Christmas, it is sad that for many, it is just another day to party, eat, give and receive gifts, etc. Others only see it as just any other day on the calendar. They do not understand that it is the celebration of the birth of the King of Kings. People like these were in Jerusalem when Jesus was born, it seems....

GOODWILL TOWARD MEN

“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” – Luke 2:14   REFERENCE: Luke 2:6-14   More than having a company of trumpeters or an advanced party to herald Jesus’ coming, His coming signaled the end of pain and the commencement of victory. This good news came after four hundred dark years of no express revelation or communication from God. This birth of Jesus ended the enmity between God and man; that is why it brought goodwill toward men. Goodwill means our God's kindness, generosity, and favor towards mankind. God no longer holds man’s trespasses...

A STAR IN THE EAST

“…Behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His Star in the East and have come to worship Him.” ~ Matthew 2:1-2   REFERENCE: Matthew 2:1-11   Why would God let Persian stargazers see a star in the East when Jesus was born? This Star was meant to light up the world, bringing gentiles and the worst of sinners to the light of God. Jesus came at a time when man was lost, bound, hopeless, and in need of redemption. His came like a...

HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE

“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” ~ Matthew 1:21   REFERENCE: Matthew 1:18-25   The biggest problem that mankind has (or had) is the sin problem. By Adam’s treason in the Garden of Eden against God, sin separated man from his fellowship with God; it robbed him of his divine nature, glory, perfect knowledge, and immortality. Mankind was now subject to the forces of nature and became a victim when. Indeed, he was supposed to rule as a king. Sin damns the soul to...

LET US GO TO BETHLEHEM

“So it was when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” ~ Luke 2:15   REFERENCE: Luke 2:8-19   God put great honor on the town of Bethlehem on the day our Savior, Jesus Christ, was born. Micah prophesied many years before, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in...

A VIRGIN SHALL BEAR A SON

"Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." ~ Isaiah 7:14   REFERENCE: Isaiah 7:10-14   As we approach a significant season of the year for Christians – Christmas, it is good to pause and reflect on the season's blessings. Unlike any other religious celebration, the birth of Jesus Christ is the greatest miracle of all times – a virgin (who has not been with a man) shall conceive and bear a son. It is the spirit of Christmas, a celebration of a miracle-working God. King Ahaz...

NOT TOO LATE

"By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age…" ~ Hebrews 11:11    REFERENCE: Hebrews 11:11   Life and society can put you in a box and tell you it is too late to pursue your dreams or start over again. If you unconsciously buy into this philosophy, you will cheat yourself and fail to achieve your goals because a sense of inadequacy will overcome you. Decide today to let the world see your new version; it is not too late, and you are not too old to dream...

GOOD WILL COME OUT OF IT

"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today."   REFERENCE: Genesis 50:15-21   As long as we are in this imperfect world where satan reigns as a god, we will experience painful and sad events. Frequently, arrows of betrayal and bitterness will come at us, the wickedness of men will be directed at us, and sometimes, we may share in the consequences of another person's misdeed. Times of difficulty may arise, but I want you to know that good...

I BELIEVE STILL

“Who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, ‘So shall your descendants be.’” ~ Romans 4:18   REFERENCE: Romans 4:18-21   Can you believe God to do what He has promised even when everything around you says it won’t happen? Abraham had all the odds stacked against him and his wife; there was no natural sign that they would still have a child in their late eighties and nineties, but Abraham said, “I believe still.” He hoped against hope; that is, he believed God when the situation was...
