This Christmas, Dr. Beach Reminds Us of the Profound Mystery at the Heart of Our Faith - God Entering the World as a Baby; Even in Today’s World of Personal Struggles and Global Conflicts
MESSAGE SUMMARY:
As we gather to celebrate Christmas, we're reminded of the profound mystery at the heart of our faith: God entering the world as a baby. This audacious claim, which may seem incredible to modern ears, is the cornerstone of our belief. In the midst of personal struggles and global conflicts, the Christmas message brings hope and transformation. It reminds us that no matter what challenges we face, God's love breaks into our world, offering forgiveness, redemption, and the promise of eternal life.
The nativity story isn't just a historical event; it's a powerful reminder that God meets us in our pain and suffering, offering a path to healing and restoration. As we reflect on this miracle, let's open our hearts to the transformative power of Christ's birth and allow it to renew our faith and perspective on life's difficulties.
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, God is working His will in my life. (Philippians 2:13). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).
SCRIPTURE REFERENCE: 1) The birth of Jesus: a) Luke 2:1-7 (The nativity story) and b) Matthew 1:18-25 (The birth of Jesus) 2) God becoming human: a) John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." and b) Philippians 2:6-7 "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness."; 3) Jesus' ministry and miracles: Matthew 4:23 "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people."; 4) Forgiveness of sins and eternal life: a) John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." and b) John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."; 5) God's presence in suffering: Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." and 6) The transformative power of faith: 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!".
