Today is a day we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. He deigned
to leave his holy place and incarnate as God and as Man, to live among
us. His story extends beyond the manger. The helpless babe, innocent and
swaddled, grew in stature and wisdom. (Luke 2:52). And the grace of God was upon Him. (Luke 2:40).
Merry Christmas! The Lord has come. Will you believe?

The Coming of the Kingdom
"Being asked by the Pharisees
when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of
God is not coming with signs to be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look,
here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst
of you.”
"And he said to the disciples,
“The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the
Son of Man, and you will not see it. "And they will say to you, ‘Look,
there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. "For as the
lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so
will the Son of Man be in his day. But first he must suffer many things
and be rejected by this generation."
(Luke 17:20-25)
(Luke 17:20-25)

The Kingdom is still in your midst. The Holy Spirit who indwells
believers is crafting a sanctified kingdom of wisdom and stature which
pleases God. If you seek entry to this kingdom, which is among you in
this age of grace, do not reject the cornerstone of the kingdom, who is
Jesus.

A Living Stone and a Holy People
"As you come to him, a living stone
rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you
yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house,
to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming
the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom
of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
Merry Christmas! The Lord has come. Will you believe?
