Our “promised rest” is to be with Jesus. If we are living by faith, that prospect should fill us with joy. The Holy Spirit is the down payment on our inheritance. To those who believe, He gives a forestate of heavenly glory. Heaven is a place of security; but we on earth are kept safe …
Let’s go today to Bethlehem, along with the marveling shepherds and the adoring magi, and see the one born King of the Jews. Jesus is Yahweh incarnate, our Lord and our God. Let us adore and admire Him. Let us bow in reverence before this holy Child, whose innocence restores glory to humanity. And let …
