Jesus completes our journey upstream at the mountaintop. He takes us up the mountain to demonstrate for us the coming glory and triumph of his life, even though he goes to the cross and suffering, to disgrace and death. May we also follow him in a life that finds its joy and glorious calling in humility and service to God and others.

Go with the flow, they say. Live and let live. Go along to get along, they say. But how Jesus has come. He brings new life, purpose and direction. What to live by and who to live for. Hear his call to follow him. Begin the journey upstream!

Jesus steps into Capernaum's synagogue in a way unlike any other. He teaches as one with authority, and backs up his powerful Word driving demons away. This is your Savior who uses his Word today to guard and defend you from your true enemies.

Follow Jesus Against the Flow

This week we see God's grace to speak to us, his power to give us faith and the blessings poured into our laps from his Word. We learn to echo the boy Samuel, "Speak, Lord, your servant is listening."

Jesus doesn't go where you think he might when his big arrival day comes on the banks of the Jordan River. He doesn't wash. He is washed. He has come to stand in for and next to sinners in a ministry to you that will never change. Jesus is your strategy for life.

Receive the gift of peace through Jesus just as so many have before us!

In the great chapter of Romans 8, Paul takes us into the character of God and how he gives. Christmas - and anytime with it - will never be the same.
