Jesus reflected the Father, revealing to humanity a God who loves deeply and personally. He is our Abba, our Daddy, the One we can run to anytime, anywhere.

Drab to Fab
Christmas is about God bringing fab to the drab, light to the darkness, hope to the hopeless, and joy to the sorrowing.
When the Time Had Fully Come
Man’s timing is not God’s timing; He is always right where He needs to be when He needs to be.
The Gift and the Giver
God’s greatest gift to humankind was given to us at Christmas; His one and only beloved Son. Anyone – that means you and me – who believes in Him receives eternal life.
When God is Silent
It’s a natural tendency to mistake God’s silence for inactivity. When we pray and fail to hear an answer, we are tempted to believe God doesn’t care, that He’s wandered off, or He doesn’t care. Nothing could be further from the truth. God works some of His most powerful deeds in the wake of His ‘silence.’
Say what?
God countered Zechariah’s doubt by working a jaw-dropping miracle; He turned their barrenness into blessing. The woman who was ‘too old’ became a mother. Those empty arms would be empty no more. For she would bear a son. Gloom would be transformed into gladness.
Wonderful Counselor
In Christ, we have a Wonderful Counselor. Not just a source of wisdom but Wisdom Himself. Not just someone who will listen and offer wisdom, but a God who came down from heaven to live among us, walk alongside us, carry our burdens, and stay with us through every struggle and hardship
Immanuel, God with us
Jesus – Immanuel – God with us. Not just for a time, not simply when we need His help, but a God who walks beside us every second of every day.
Perishable
Through Jesus, we have eternal life. When He died on the cross, He removed that perishable state for all those who confess Him as LORD and Savior. Through His death, whoever (that means you and me) believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Although mortal physically, our souls will ascend to live in His presence for eternity
Our horn of salvation
God’s plan wasn’t political, it was spiritual. God sent His Son, Jesus, to be our Horn of Salvation. Through His death on the cross, He would liberate all who believe in Him from the oppression of sin.
