12.15.24 - Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

Can you think of a time when someone did not keep a promise that they made to you? Can you think of a time when you didn’t keep a promise that you made? If you will reflect on these two questions, then it probably causes some emotions to rise up in you... This little thought exercise can point to the importance of promises, the importance of follow through, and the importance of faithfulness. Years ago, down the street from an overcrowded inn, a baby was born and placed in a manger – in that moment God was keeping His promise! In that moment God was showing that He is faithful! If you can pause long enough to gaze upon that moment – to take in that moment – then you may begin to understand that God has come and that He has come FOR YOU! This promise makes for a very, merry Christmas!
