Thursday-December 1
Our first question to think of about is: "Who is Coming?" When are we going to have visitors my wife likes to know who is coming. Is it one of our sons? Is it another family member? Is it a friend? Each question has a different response. If it is one of our sons coming to visit, then she will relax not worrying about dishes in the sink neither the clutter of the busy weekend. If it is a friend she is up with a flash picking up the clutter, vacuuming the house and placing the dishes in the dishwasher.
When we speak of Christmas, we are speaking of someone coming who is greater that Santa! Yes, He brings a gift, in fact, the preeminent gift of all, the gift of the Holy Ghost! Who is coming? The Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord (Matthew 1:21). Who is He? He is the Word of God, the creative force that brought the world into existence. He made the heavens, the Sun and the Moon, the land, and the sea and all that lives therein. This Word became flesh so He could recreate you and I and make us new! The mistakes of the past, the old life, fall away and a new life comes to us (1 Corinthians 5:17), and we become His people. Since it is our Savior, who is coming it demands a response! We should respond with worship that is passionate and forceful (John 4:24). As we read today's scripture, meditate, pray and believe that He will create beautiful things in your life! He is coming to you today to create love, joy, and peace within your heart! He is coming to make everything new!
Scripture Reading:
John 1:1–5 (KJV 1900)
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:14 (KJV 1900)
14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Hebrews 1:1-4 (KJV 1900)
1God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
