Topic : Take Advantage Of The Birth And Sacrifice Of Jesus.

Memory Verse: Isaiah 55:4. I set him up as a witness to the nations,made him a prince and leader of the nations,

Bible Reading : Isaiah 55:1-3 MSG. Key Verse : v3.

“Hey there! All who are thirsty,come to the water!Are you penniless?Come anyway—buy and eat!Come, buy your drinks, buy wine and milk.Buy without money—everything’s free! Why do you spend your money on junk food,your hard-earned cash on cotton candy?Listen to me, listen well: Eat only the best,fill yourself with only the finest. Pay attention, come close now,listen carefully to my life-giving, life-nourishing words.I’m making a lasting covenant commitment with you,the same that I made with David: sure, solid, enduring love.

All over the world the Christmas mood has been activated; when the whole world remembers the birth of the saviour of the universe. Many people keep occupying themselves with arguments on the right date when Christ was born, which is not very clear, but we are sure that he wasn’t born on 25th of December. All the same the most popular man that walked the surface of the earth, whose about 33 years of earthly life and about 3 years earthly ministry, shook the foundations of the earth and altered many things in the spiritual and physical world, is worth remembering and celebrating. Till the world ends, the entire world will keep talking about Jesus Christ in all kinds of meetings and from all kinds of pulpits all over the world (both enemies and friends). Isaiah here was trying to bring us into the purpose of his birth, death and resurrection. He came in fulfillment of the covenant God made with David. “I set him up as a witness to the nations,made him a prince and leader of the nations, And now I’m doing it to you:You’ll summon nations you’ve never heard of,and nations who’ve never heard of youwill come running to you. Because of me, your God,because The Holy of Israel has honored you.” Isaiah 55:4-5.

Jesus Christ came to the world to open the door of salvation to all the nations of the earth. Today, it is not just about being a Jew by birth before we serve the living God, but it’s all about responding to what Jesus Christ has done for us. He appeared to satisfy the hunger and quench the thirst of as many as are looking for the truth. He became the revealed truth and the life of God at the level we can handle with our fragile human nature. We must not therefore miss the purpose of his coming as many are doing. “Seek God while he’s here to be found,pray to him while he’s close at hand. Let the wicked abandon their way of lifeand the evil their way of thinking.Let them come back to God, who is merciful,come back to our God, who is lavish with forgiveness.” Isaiah 55:6-7.

This is the right season to take stock of our lives and reflect on the free salvation made available to us as men. Have we really taken full advantage of what Jesus did by forsaking our evil and wicked ways to follow him in the real sense of it, or are we just playing along with others? Have we outrightly rejected Jesus Christ and his free offer of salvation for any reason best known to us? Is it all about travelling, family and friends reunion, eating good food, going for shopping with loved ones? Is Christmas all about attending parties and launching new automobiles, etc? We need to ask ourselves whom JESUS is to each and every one of us. If he is not your saviour in the real sense of it, it means that you have misplaced priorities this season. “God’s readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation’s available for everyone! We’re being shown how to turn our backs on a godless, indulgent life, and how to take on a God-filled, God-honoring life. This new life is starting right now,” Titus 2:11-12.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving us Jesus your son. Thank you Lord Jesus for coming just to save me without charging any money. Open the eyes of my understanding to fulness of what you have done for me, so that I can make best use of your grace. Thank you because my life will never remain the same in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : James 1:2-27.
