Jesus-The Name Says It All

We looked at three names of Jesus yesterday and celebrated what they mean.

The first was Jesus is our Immanuel: God with us. God is with us at all time. He never leaves us. The question is do we acknowledge His presence. It is great to fill His presence when with a group of believers, do you feel His presence when you are alone?

Secondly, Jesus is our savior: God for us. I can imagine all the great gifts received for Christmas. But have you received the greatest gift? Jesus, God in person came to earth to offer you a gift. Have you received it? How do you know?

Thirdly, Jesus is our Christ the Lord: God in us. There is a difference between Jesus as our savior and Jesus as our Lord. When we allow Him to be Lord we surrender our entire life to Him. As we prepare for the new year, what is one thing or person you can surrender in the New Year? Is there something God would have you add to your life, or delete from your life?

May bless you as we begin 2010!
