Jesus, The Submissive Child
December 20, 2009
At Christmas, we think of Mary, a woman who faced a life she never expected, but yet, a life she was willing to undertake as a servant of the Lord. To bear the Son of God and raise him to adulthood meant both joy as well as sorrow. To watch your son die on a cross and know His sacrifice was not just for the world, but for you, was a pain no other mother has ever faced.

A death-row inmate faces a grim prospect. Sometimes, a state's governor will commute his sentence, and even set him free if new evidence is discovered. In a moment, the inmate's outlook leaps from despair to joy. We all deserve a spiritual death-row sentence. Were it not for the work of Jesus, none of us would escape getting what we've earned through our sins. Today, we'll discover that God has bestowed yet another gift on those who trust Christ.

How would you react if a lawyer called, saying you'd just inherited a million dollars from a distant relative? No doubt with disbelief at first. Later, reality would sink in when the check was handed to you. Well, if you're a believer, you have a check waiting for you at the bank of heaven. And its for far more than a mere million. For the details, please stay with us.

As a believer matures in the faith, he or she comes to realize that salvation is not so much a result of our seeking God as it is the result of God choosing us first. We'll learn that, if God had not done this, none of us would ever have chosen Him. Please stay with us.

Well, that's exactly what you are as a child of God. In the book of Romans, we read: "The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs...joint heirs with Christ."

When the economy is tanking, we may not find much encouragement in our surroundings. Many of us are fearful for the future. But for the Christian, this is a good reminder that our real security and treasure lies in the world to come. This is the teaching we find in the book of Romans, teaching that can transform our outlook as it changes our lives.

When summer comes, most of us experience hot temperatures, and enjoy cool drinks to allay our thirst. As much as we need water for our bodies, we need God for our souls.
