If Jesus, The Final Adam, isn’t raised from the dead, Christmas is absolutely worthless! But He has been raised and that makes Christmas an annual battle cry of victory and foretaste of the Second Advent!

The incarnation of Jesus is more wonderful than we can imagine and far more comforting than we tend to believe.

The only place your expectations and longings are safe are when they line up with the promises of God in Jesus.

Those who are content are generous and those who are generous are content. Just like Jesus.

We so desperately need to experience the non-anxious presence of Jesus. And by His grace, we can embody His non-anxious presence in our world of ambient anxiety. 

Our Good Shepherd, who has led us where we are today, will continue to lead us into His presence forevermore. This is our hope as individuals and as a church.

Yoked up with our Unwavering Savior, might we be people who live unwavering lives of Christlikeness.

Every saint is a work in progress (and a work of promise) and that means our past and present suffering and imperfections are not reason enough to quit pressing on to know Jesus.
