One of my favorite Christmas Songs is Joy to the World. It’s just happy and it tells us everything we need to know in one line. The Lord is Come. I always thought that was a weird line and it sounds strange to us. If you ever wondered why that is correct grammar, the Grammar Girl has solved it. It’s an archaic form of the word, etc etc. I don’t get it, but read if you want to know more 🙂 For me, I look at it as Jesus came, is here now, and will be here tomorrow. He didn’t come and go but is always here for us. This brings me hope that my Savior is always with me, no matter what.

Today’s Questions: How is Jesus active in your life yesterday, today, and tomorrow? What will you do to share his love always?

Scripture

• John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
• Mathew 28:20 – Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
• Romans 1:16 – I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

Reflection

Jesus was here at the beginning (John 1:1) and he will be here at the end of the age (Mathew 28:20). This is a comfort to me and should be a comfort for you. To further that, we see that Jesus came first for the Jewish people, then everyone else. No one is outside of the love of God. That is a message (the Gospel) that we should all be proud about. He is light, love, forgiveness, and salvation.

As we close, don’t be shy to share your story about how Jesus works in your life. He will work through you to touch others and bring peace. Love one another, always.

Prayer

Father God, thank you for your Son. Thank you for never changing and always being present in our lives. Without you, we would be lost forever. You help us grow, learn, and serve. We love you and thank you for that. We pray that we can always feel your presence and bring others to know your love. In your name, Amen.
