This weekend…Dec 9th, 10th and 11th…we celebrate the arrival of God to the surface of our planet 2000 years ago, and we pray with great fervor that same Jesus will arrive in the hearts of many who take a step of faith this weekend.
It’s a sobering thought…that through us, God might reach the hearts of some who don’t currently know him. It’s a pretentious thought…that through us, God might reach the hearts of some who don’t currently know him!
But that’s what he does, he works through us. And those are the marching orders Jesus left with us: “Go and make disciples…”
Fortunately…thankfully…Jesus ends that thought in Matthew 28 with these words: “Surely I am with you always.” I’m counting on that…for all of us…as we encourage and invite others to join us this weekend…and for those participating in and supporting the Program…and for those searching for the time and the courage to attend…
I’m praying even now for the Father to strengthen you and draw others to himself…
Sobering, pretentious and utterly amazing. God using people to reach people. God making disciples and giving them His own spirit, so that they can go make disciples. An awesome mystery how God does this!
