As we have learned, God,
Our Father, will do exactly what He says He will do!
When we study Isaiah 9:6-7, God tells
us that He will bless us with a Son Who is Wonderful,
Counselor, mighty God, the everlasting Father and the
Prince of Peace.
His Son, Our Lord will hold all his kingdom upon His
shoulders and He will bring all of this with zeal and
His heavenly hosts.
Now think ahead to the disciples that were called by
Him, walked with Him, lived with Him and were taught by
Him, and grew
in faith in His presence. Yet after the crucifixion of
Jesus, His followers lost sight of His teachings and did
not recognize Him,
a failure in faith. How can this be? We also sometimes
lose sight of what our life experiences have been in
Jesus Christ, our
walk and growth in faith. Like the disciples after the
crucifixion we take our eyes off Jesus. Some of us
actually think that
God has left us, when the truth is that we turn away
from God. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus
Christ is God’s
promise to each and every one of us who choose Jesus.
Our response to such a great gift is making and living
our faith in
Jesus the center of our lives. |
