This is wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas Holiday and a bright new year.
Jesus died for us to have life and have it more abundantly. So we should see the season as a brand new beginning for us all who are in Christ and those who are not, to give them an example to live by. So the world would see who God's children really are. For us to be like the world is not a difference that we need to make in people's lives. We are to live holy before the lord and show the world that we are different.
It is time for the Church of Jesus Christ to let all the world know who He is and what He has done for us and will do for anyone who wants him. He is no respector of persons. He loves us all the same no matter if we have accepted him or not.
Our job is to be a shinning star to let everyone know there's a Savior who wants anyone and everyone to come to him this hour. For we know not what tomorrow would bring. So we know if we accept him we will be under his covering.
The world is not going to be your friend like Christ. There are too many things going on that we do not know about. So don't get caught up in the world system.
We should be willing to take that step and acknowledge that we need a Savior, who is Jesus Christ, our Lord. No one can love you like he does.
The Lord would say to you, " Be not afraid, I am come to give you life that you cannot receive anywhere else. There is no other and will be no other who shed his blood for your sins so you may be saved and have life more abundantly.
Unless you are washed by the blood, you are not saved. But you will know it when you are because you will feel clean and whole again and cannot keep on sinning as usual. So, let this year end with a change of heart. And come in to me. I will make the crocked places clean and pave the way for you to go. Do not go into the dismal path which will take you to into outer darkness with no way out. Time is short and the year is almost over. Hear my plea and come into me no matter what you have done. And I will make the new path clean, says the Lord." There's a new path for God's people for the New Year. It will be well with thee even though the world system is dark, don't let it take you in and fool you. God wants you to be with him today.
This is Lisa Patterson wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy new Year. Let the Lord come in to you today.
