Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
Yes, Jesus is the Reason for the Season!! As I have said before, some (many) will say this is not Jesus' birth. Well, look at your own family, do you always celebrate someone's birthday on the actual day? OR, do you celebrate it on the weekend closest to the birthday? Soooooo, does it really matter? Anyway-------
Please notice the cross below:
Our Savior, JESUS CHRIST, was hung on a wooden cross. It was not attractive like the many crosses we have today, just old wooden boards, crossed at a certain place and designed to hang or crucify people on.
I just ask that when you see a wooden cross, first you think of your savior who was hung on that cross. His name is Emmanuel, Jesus Christ.
Then there is usually a chain or some type of rope or thread holding it. This represents the fact (to me) that we are all "chained" or "tied" to our savior once we accept HIS present of salvation.
And because that chain, leather, rope, or thread makes a continual circle shows that we are linked to our savior for eternity. Forever and ever and ever.
The cross is more than just jewelry; it has meaning and if you don't share what that cross means to you, you may be missing an opportunity to offer someone the great gift you have------the gift of salvation!!!
I ask that you pray for the Johnson and Bickel families. My oldest cousin, Marteal Bickel Johnson passed away yesterday. She was a strong Christian, but now is with her savior and living in paradise. She was 95 years young. Thank you for your prayers, reading, and being a faithful servant of GOD.
In Christ's Love and Grace
