Running To Win

The Mystery Of The Angels, Part 1 of 2 (The Mystery Of Bethlehem)

December 27, 2019

After the last prophet’s writings, the voice of God fell silent in Israel for four hundred years. Then, one day, a brilliant light flooded the skies over a sleepy town south of Jerusalem. Myriads of angels announced the coming of a Savior, who was Christ the Lord. These messengers of God proclaimed the greatest news sinful mankind would ever hear.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Jesus said of Himself, “The Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” He always had to sleep in someone else’s home. His first night on earth was in a borrowed manger—a cattle feeding trough. The Son of God began His time among us in rude surroundings. He came with no kingly pomp—just a humble bed of straw.

We encounter many conflicts and divisions in our lives, but none weightier than the division between a holy God and sinful man. Two thousand years ago that dividing wall was breached in a feeding trough in the tiny town of Bethlehem.

When mankind rebelled against God, the chasm between the two was infinite. Divine justice demanded payment for this great sin. Only God could bridge this gap, and He did so by sending Jesus into the world, born into a peasant family in Israel. This baby was much more than met the eye. He speaks of Himself in the Bible’s last book as the Alpha and Omega.

The Apostle Paul wrote of a deep mystery: “great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the flesh.” At Christmas we remember a night like no other, the night Jesus was born on planet Earth.

People in deep bondage are often under the illusion that they are free. Many of the religious leaders of Jesus’ day thought they were free, and they didn’t like being told that they needed deliverance. We can be delivered, for Jesus came to set us free.

Jesus said, “Everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed.” That’s great news! Freedom is more than avoiding jail. Freedom is living without the shackles of sin.

“Greater love hath no man, than a man lay down his life for his friends.” That’s what Jesus said, and that’s what He did. There is no greater love than the love of God through His Son, and that’s the greatest Christmas gift one could receive this year.
December 18, 2019
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The life He offers to those who believe is an eternal one. This Christmas let’s be thankful for the life our Savior promises, a life that transcends our temporary time in this world.
December 17, 2019
At Christmas, we would rather not think about the end of life. But the eternal life Jesus provided for those who believe means that death is not the end. In one sense, Jesus becomes the beginning of the real life we were meant to have.
December 16, 2019
The lights of Christmas come down in January. But the light Jesus brings into the hearts of believers can burn brighter every day. Sin, however, can quickly obscure that light, so we must be diligent to walk in obedience.
