Fulfilled 01At Partakers, like most of the world, we are now on the countdown to Christmas! This year we will look at how the birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ was fulfilment of words and promises spoken about down through the ages – through countless years as people looked to God to rescue them.

The first Christmas almost 2,000 years ago is the time when the invisible becomes visible. When God who is outside of time and space, entered time and space. This Almighty God becomes a weakened baby, in what we call the incarnation. Almighty God has become one of his created beings – a helpless human. John 3:16 sums this up well “For this is how God loved the world: He sent his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.” One of God’s servants, one of Jesus’ followers - the Apostle Paul - said something similar in Romans 8:3 “So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.”

Over the next 2 weeks, we will look at some of those words as given in what we call the Old Testament and how they were fulfilled in the New Testament. Some of those things could have been fulfilled by deliberate human intervention (or even Jesus Himself)… but not all of them… Starting at our next podcast, we will start looking at just a few of them in this our Christmas series for 2014! See you tomorrow!

Partakers Friday Prayers!

12th December 2014

We pray together and when Christians pray together, from different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity! Come! Let us pray together!

The feast day of your birth

resembles You, Lord

Because it brings joy to all

humanity.

Old people and infants alike enjoy

your day.

 

Your day is celebrated

from generation to generation.

Kings and emperors may pass away,

And the festivals to commemorate

them soon lapse.

 

But your festival will be

remembered until the end of time.

Your day is a means and a pledge of

peace.

 

At Your birth heaven and earth were

reconciled,

Since you came from heaven to earth

on that day

You forgave our sins and wiped away

our guilt.

 

You gave us so many gifts on the

day of your birth:

A treasure chest of spiritual

medicines for the sick;

Spiritual light for the blind;

The cup of salvation for the

thirsty;

The bread of life for the hungry.

 

In the winter when trees are bare,

You give us the most succulent

spiritual fruit.

 

In the frost when the earth is

barren,

You bring new hope to our souls.

 

In December when seeds are hidden

in the soil,

The staff of life springs forth

from the virgin womb

 

A hymn / prayer of Ephraim the

Syrian (AD 306-373)
