Luke 1:26-28

 

*********************************************

If this is not a telling of what will come than I dont know what else it could be. Mary would be the mother of Jesus and she would be that of a virgin, untouched women, chosen by the Lord to carry and raise. This young women had no idea at what the Lord had laid out for her do. She just believed and follow his word and did as she was asked to do. She was blessed with the Savior due to being pure of heart. How many of you can say that you are pure of heart? I know that I cannot say that I am but I am trying to more devoted to his word and be a better follower. Yes there are times in which this is hard but it is a learning experience for me everyday that I walk with him.

Matthew 2:4-6

 

********************************************

There are several people who claim to be the leader and several that choose to follow. But the one true leader was that on Jesus and he died for our sins and rose again to prove that he was real. Even though that there are those who are lost once they find their Shepard they are found. Just like a herd of sheep they lost until they have a Shepard. We just stray sheep in life until we find our purpose. Our purpose to help teach the word and be a living testament to those around us and those that we encounter in our path. All that matters in the end is that Jesus and his people will be first.

Galatians 4:4-5

 

***********************************************

God sent his Son at the correct time. We needed someone who we could follow and that someone needed to be a person that could not only show us that we have the faith but be a testament. We were under roman rule and needed a savior that would stand for what he believed in. This caused everyone to believe again and preach the good word of our Lord. We became his real children not just pretend. So that way we could have rights and be individuals but still have a common belief.

Isaiah 7:14

The Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

**************************************************

 "Sign, Sign, everywhere's a sign". Life is full of all kinds of signs from not only the Lord but also just in general. If we ignore those signs then think about but we may be missing out on. There is a reason there are curveballs in life so that we are directed down the right path. The longer and closer that I get the Lord I have become more aware of the signs that he has provided for me. I have avoided so many signs in my life and have had to learn the hard way. Jesus was our sign from the Lord on how he wants us to live and is our example of what the Lord wants us to be like.

Deuteronomy 18:15

**************************************************

Jesus the son of Virgin Mary is the Prophet. The Lord brought forth Jesus so that he would be the prophet for those to believe in and for us to listen to. Jesus taught the people and had those that followed him. Jesus was our example of the type of person that the Lord wants us to be. There will come a time when we are face to face with the Lord and he will ask where you like Jesus? I want to be able to say yes, I want people to know that I am faithful and strong in my faith. In order for people to see this I have to present this to them. 

John 15:5,8

************************************************** 

Like any plant they need water, sun, soil to live and thrive. How is our lives any different from that of a plant. We all start out as seeds and that seed is accepted Jesus. Then we grow stronger as we learn His word which that is the stalk. Then as we obey and spread His word that then becomes our branches. Then as we touch more and more people they in return become our fruit. Our thirst is calmed by that of knowing the Lord and understanding what he wants us to know. By doing all this we become closer to the Lord and he is revealed to us in many ways. We have to preach His word in order for us to bear fruit, quench our thirst and receive or nutrients.     

John 14:6

 

*************************************************

"It's my way or the highway" I hated this saying as I was growing up because it meant that I did not get what I wanted. The truth is that if we know Jesus we know God. Jesus was sent to earth as his only son. Jesus lived and died on the cross for us so that all of our sins will be forgiven because we know not what we do. I can say I am glad to be saved by Jesus and I am grateful to be getting to know him better. I have not been the greatest person on my faithfulness to the Lord but I am hoping to change all this. Last night at work I was asked if I had all my Christmas shopping done. I said that it wasn't about the gifts its about the season and that Jesus was born to guide and be an example for us. Everyone gets so wrapped up in the glittery, pretty items that they forget the biggest gift of all was that of Jesus. Do you thank God for what he has done in your life?
