I love today's letters. They cover the two things I'm most thankful for!
****
E is EVERLASTING LIFE.
At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus because it’s through His life, death and resurrection that we can have eternal life!
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
This Christmas, I hope that while we enjoy the presents and the lights and the tree, that we will have our main focus be on the eternal value of Christmas. This verse from 2 Corinthians always reminds me that it's what we can't see that is most important!
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen, but what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:18
F is for FAMILY.
Christmas time is the perfect time to remember family! Most Christmases, we are surrounded by our family and friends, and we remember why we are so grateful for them. We also remember that it’s because God sent His Son, Jesus to earth, that we can be considered part of God’s family, too!
In Romans 8, it says, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship, and by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’”
In Ephesians it says, "Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone."
