God's Wisdom In A Nutshell

Hello and Merry Christmas to you!

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas morning filled with warm fuzzy family time.  More importantly, I also hope that you stop for a moment to take in the magnitude of what this day means.

Over two thousand years ago the Lord became man. He  was born in a stable and was placed among animals on His first day on earth.  This very act was the first display of His character- a God of all people, the poor and the wealthy.  He didn’t need a big display of opulence to show that He was king of the world, His future teachings, His miracles and His resurrection would do that.

The Lord allowed Himself to be fully man and experience all human emotion including excruciating pain, so that He could walk the earth teaching His people about His love for us.  He didn’t force His ways upon anyone, He lovingly taught and modeled all that we would need to know to live a content, joy filled, abundant life.

The birth of Christ -Christmas Day – was just the beginning.  Baby Jesus grew up to be a man who taught for 3 1/2 years on the earth.  That’s it, 3 1/2 years!  And since that time we are still talking about Him!  Doesn’t that make you think, at least a little, if you are an unbeliever?  The world’s calendar is based on this date in History, it is December 25, 2018 A.D. original phrase “anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi” which translates to “in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ.”  In the United States, our money is inscripted with “In God We Trust.”  Is there any other King in the history of the world who is remembered like this?  If you are an atheist, or if you have no idea who the Lord Jesus Christ is, I can tell you one thing, there has never been, nor will there ever be a King/God more important to your well being than our Father in Heaven.  He is your source of happiness and contentment.

My prayer for you is that you start a relationship with Him by drawing near to Him so that He can impart His wisdom to you.  You do this by reading the Bible or hearing Scripture read to you.  The Bible is the inspired word of God and if you are serious about learning what our Lord has to say, I challenge you to read it consistently.  You don’t need a theology degree to understand Scripture, God will open the minds of people who truly desire to know Him.

“In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.” (Isaiah 29:18 ESV)

I wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a new year of hope as you draw near to the King of the World, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Most Sincerely,

Lisa.
