The First Christmas was birthed out of the love between the Father and the Son before the world was made, a love which crafted a plan designed to give us the greatest possible gift.
God has gone to great lengths to enable us to show the world His greatness, in our words and our actions. Let’s take advantage of this great privilege and glorify God today!
The Holy Spirit was sent by God to insure that God’s ambitious plan (of revealing His character and glory to the world through the Church) is ultimately successful. He is the ultimate “closer.”
The final phase in God’s plan to show the world what He was truly like was a surprising one – to replicate the character and glory of Jesus in His followers and then send them out to show the world what He is like. Have you embraced the privilege?
Psalm 103
When the “Direct” approach proved unfruitful, God adapted His strategy by sending Jesus to be the ultimate revelation of His glory, character, and nature. While a huge improvement over the “Direct” approach, it still had some downsides. In the end, it comes down to a choice: will you believe, or not?
