“He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.”

HE cares for us, that all might humble themselves, and turn to Jesus, who was the ultimate example, of humility. The son of God, fully human, fully God, perfect in every way. He was only one who could save us from our wayward selves. Thank You, Jesus.

Triumphal entry

“When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold your King is coming to you, Gentle, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’ ” The disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them, and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their coats on them; and He sat on the coats. Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!” When He had entered Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.””

It is the gift of life for those who believe, but for those who don’t, it is foolishness, but also carry’s the weight of eternal judgement. God does not any to perish, but to receive the free gift of life. This does not mean, that there was not a tremendous price to pay, for our wayward hearts!

A Christmas Discussion – Luke 1:26-55

April 11, 2022December 5, 2022 Arw27

For those that couldn’t make it, we had a brief time of singing some Christmas Carols and then talking through Luke 1:26-55. What a beautiful story of God’s messenger (Gabriel) telling Mary of not only her part she would play, but more importantly the coming birth of the one who would change the world. What an amazing story of faith on Mary’s part, and Love on God’s part coming together.

I didn’t have time to throw out some of these things to think about so I thought I would throw out a few practical thoughts to ponder as you think about this passage.

In the sixth month – God’s clock was already ticking when the angel came to Mary. Just because God announces something to me doesn’t mean it began with me.

Pledged to be married – We have our plans. God has his. What do you do when the two come into contact with each other? This is a practical question for today, just as much as it was for Mary 2000 years ago.

Mary was greatly troubled at his word – Mary isn’t the only person who ever found herself troubled by God’s message.

You will be with child – Sometimes we enlist in the purposes of God, sometimes we are drafted. Does God, have the right to draft us into his service?

How will this be? – There is a world of difference between asking God “How” and asking him “Why” Do you know the difference?

For nothing is impossible with God – You heard him

I am the Lord’s servant – Even though Mary was drafted, she responds with a willing heart. The secret of a willing heart flows from our identity as servants of God.
