Before leaving this world for heaven, Jesus gave two directives for His followers. One was to empower them and the next was to encourage them. The two commands are found in Matthew 28:19-20.
Jesus followers are empowered to make disciples and encouraged as they behold the promise of Jesus to be with them always.
Making disciples is not a quick process but knowing that God is with you both in and through the process brings hope in what God is able to do.
Throughout the Bible, the extreme significance of the name of Jesus is presented.
Prior to Jesus birth, Joseph was told that “You are to give Him the name Jesus for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
As we launch into the New Year, I invite you to join us onsite or online as we recall the incredible significance of Jesus. He is our hope for an abundant life on earth and an eternal life in heaven. Learn more
“Joy to the World” is one of the more popular Christmas songs. It has a joyful tune and creates a sense of joy for those who sing it and for those who hear it.
Joy to the world is equally appropriate for the celebration of Christ’s birth as it is for the celebration of Easter which marks the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. He overcame sin and death and offers His victory to all who believe in Him.
Is “joy” a central part of your Christmas? When we have joy, it gives us strength to live each day, facing the challenges of that day.
