Do You Believe

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

John 8:12 NKJV

 

                I, along with my family, watched the Wiz live last night.  It was special to us because it was one of the movies I introduced to them as children.  Last night, they all came into my bedroom and watched the movie with us.  My kids are teenagers now and it was truly a nice family moment.

                If you know the story of the Wiz,  the lead character Dorothy wants to go back home and all she has to do to get there is believe.  Believe!  My question for us this morning is , “What do you believe?”  Do you believe in Santa Claus?  Do you believe in your Job?    Do you believe in the City Council? Do you believe in the Mayor?  Do you Believe in the Governor?  Do you believe in state and federal representatives and senators?  Do you believe in the President?  Let’s make it more personal, “Do you believe in your paycheck?”       

                However you answer this question is your answer.  I am not trying to persuade your answer one bit.  You can believe in whatever you want to although I know that all of the above are subject to change. They all are subject to man, position and power.  The main question is, “ Do you believe IN Christ?

  Do you believe that He is the Light of the World?  Do you believe that He came to give us Life and not only life but life more abundantly?  Do you believe that HE is a healer? Do you believe that He is a Protector?  Do you believe that HE is Peace?  Do you believe that HE is a deliverer?  Do you believe that HE is a provider? 

 Do You Believe In Christ?  His Power? His Love? His redemption? His Cleansing? His Strength? His Way? His Truth? His Life?

 

Jesus, I do believe! Santa Claus ain’t got nothing on you!

The Gift

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

 

               We are now entering into one of the most joyous and happy seasons of the year.  I love Christmas! I love the gifts , the fellowship and I love all the Christmas décor. So many people focus on those things and for some people that is what Christmas is about.

  The most important thing about Christmas is Christ.  HE is the reason for the season and HE is the reason for the gift.  Have you taken the time to thank God for the gift of HIS ONLY SON?

This month let’s not forget Christ.  So many want to make it about Santa Claus and what you have under the tree but Christmas is about the gift of Christ to the world.  If you really think about it, nothing good could ever happen in your life if it was not for Christ.  I thank you God for the Gift of your Son!
