I have mentioned already several times the book “MORNING AND EVENING” By CH Spurgeon (Daily Readings). Today is the 15th of November and the morning reading was a real blessing.
I don’t think I have ever told you how I got hold of the precious book: FOR 50 CENTS IN A GARAGE SALE BOUGHT BY BEVERLEY.
And in really GOOD condition!
Books, laughter, indulgence, spoiling, reading, escapism, giving, dreaming, relaxing. That’s what I read on a poster today.
What is your Christmas?
A number of years ago we stopped in Whangarei for lunch at Christmas time and I asked somebody sitting near us in the park, “What do you think what the meaning of Christmas is? The answer was, “Being together with family and friends.”
How interesting it is to ask people, “What is your Christmas?” I should ask some more people and write down the answers.
Do you want to know what Christmas is for me?
Please turn to the Bible and read with me from the Gospel of Luke chapter two the verse eleven. There it says, Today in the town of David a SAVIOUR has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11
It talks here about a Saviour. I always thought that there was something wrong and that I needed help badly. And there it was, “a Saviour has been born to you.” And that is the meaning of CHRISTMAS! A Saviour has been born and saved us from destruction.
Praise the LORD!
Ephesians 2:14,17
FOR HE HIMSELF IS OUR PEACE,….
HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR.
ALL the lights are out and it is getting dark and cold. But it is a really hot and sunny day. Have you ever been in a situation like that and felt like that?
JUDAS in the Bible hanged himself when that happened in his life. Matthew 27:1-16.
He did not have a place (person) to go to.
We (believers) do have a person to go to. We go to the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 11:28
