Prince of Peace

Dec28

“100% Human – 100% God”

“Waiting for a Savior”

“Wonderful Counselor”

“Mighty God”

“Prince of Peace”

“There is nothing more

Captivating than a prince for a Princess.”

 

Words I heard during three services at church this weekend.

Sticky words.  Words requiring pondering. Careful consideration.

Resounding words to my heart.

 

100% Human – Jesus came to us as 100% human

                In order that HE should know what being human was like.

                He gave up His God-ness to share in our humanity.

 

100% God – Jesus came and remained 100% God-

                In order that He could save us from our sin.

                He laid aside His God-ness for our benefit.

 

The Jews were awaiting a Savior –

One to release them from the control the Roman Empire.

What they got for their waiting was an innocent, helpless baby.

 

This Baby Savior, this helpless innocent –

                Turned out to be a Mighty King.

                The powerful ruler of a heavenly kingdom.

 

He is the Prince of Peace –

                Not peace as the world gives,

                But peace that can only be experienced a heavenly realm.

 

Jesus IS the Prince of Peace-

                Calling on us, to be His Princess.

                                On the day we receive Him,

                                                We become His spotless Bride.

Yet

Dec26

Romans 4:18  Against all hope Abraham believed and so he became father of many nations, just as it had been said to him.

Romans 4:20  YET he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

Romans 8:25  But if we hope for what we do not YET have, we wait for it patiently.  

Abraham did not have anything but Gods word to him.  

He didn’t see the answer, nor could he see even how this word could possibly be accomplished. 

How could he possibly be the father of many nations when he and his wife were so up in their ages?

Abrahams hope was in the YET.

He had not seen the answer YET.

YET really says –

It’s on the way.  Don’t give up.  Wait for it.  Only believe.

 

In this Christmas season we see the stark difference of the greed/poverty mind-set, and the giving/lavish lifestyle of some.

We hear the clamor and the noise, all for want of more stuff and dig our selves deeper into debt and despair.

We have not received that which we are seeking.

Our souls desire the peace of an “O Holy Night”. 

Unencumbered by all the entanglements.

 

God makes many promises to those who believe on His name.

Many promises if we follow Him.

If we believe in Him. 

If we have hope in the YET.

 

God promises peace.

Regardless of circumstance.

His promise is peace that passes all understanding.

Don’t despair if you believe on Him, but don’t seem to have it YET.

It’s on the way.  Don’t give up.  Wait for it.  Only believe.

Your hope is in the YET.

And so.  

Fill in the blanks with whatever fits your life today.

Make it your prayer.

Then believe for the YET;

I don’t see ___________________ YET.

YET, I do not waver in my belief.

And so _______________________.

My hope is in the promise You made to me about _______________________________.

My hope is in the YET.

If you want to know peace,

You need to know God.

He Loves Us Still

Dec19

We often disobey.

He loves us still.

We are not always “Be ye kind”.

He loves us still.

We are sometimes discontent with His provision.

He loves us still.

We are frequently distracted from focussing on Him.

He loves us still.

He speaks, we do not listen.

He love us still.

We hear, but we do not do.

He loves us still.

We are weak and flawed.

He loves us still.

We have no gifts to bring.

He loves us still.

 

He is the greatest gift ever given.

A King, disguised as a baby.

Incognito, to a world that would lift His name high.

Hidden, to a world that would seek His death.

A King whose only hearts desire is that we would glorify His Father.

See? There in the hay?

This gift seems so insignificant.

So small. So weak. So … human.

He knows what it is like to be us.

What will be our gift to Him?

The One who loves us still?
