December 22
The Lord your God loves you. Yes, He loves YOU. He wants to abide with you. What seems impossible given man’s fallen state from the time he succumbed to temptation in the Garden—because the broken relationship seems irreparable—how can a miserable, sin-laden mortal hope to relate to the Majesty on High?
Only because the Majesty on High loves miserable, sin-laden man and because HE did the one thing required to bridge the gulf between Himself and His beloved but errant creation. He assumed the role of Man as he had been without sin and lived the perfect life Adam chose not to live (see Philippians 2:5-11). HE did that for YOU!
The propitiatory life, death and resurrection of Jesus was in YOUR behalf. He came to save mankind, but until YOU EMBRACE THE AMAZING TRUTH THAT HE CAME TO SAVE YOU, YOUR PRICELESS GIFT WILL REMAIN UNCLAIMED! You must claim Jesus as the Author and Finisher of YOUR faith, as the Hope of YOUR salvation!
How do you do that? Jesus Himself tells you how in Revelation 3:20 where He says, “Behold, I stand at the door (of your heart) and knock. If any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to sup with him and he with Me.” He isn’t just knocking; He is calling your name. Open the door. Allow the sweet fellowship with Christ to begin.
