GOD PROVIDED A LAMB

1 Peter 1:19-20 NLT It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake.

It’s an amazing thing to get our hearts around the miracle of God coming into our world in human form as a small baby. Even more so, to know He was also the Lamb of God, who would become the sacrifice God had promised. God’s plans are so far reaching and it’s easy to forget in all the lead up to Christmas Day, all the present buying, all the food preparation, and now it’s all over.

But praise God, it’s not over is it? Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever and He’s promised to never leave us, forsake us or abandon us or leave us without support. (Hebrews 13:5 AMP) What promises!

Because He came, because He is alive today, we can deal with whatever comes and He tells us not to worry about tomorrow because He’s already there, to not be afraid or be anxious, but to cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us.

The One who was held in His mother’s arms is now the One who holds us in His strong arms and holds us close speaking words of wisdom, strength and love into our hearts. So we can know the joy of Christmas every day because Jesus came and is still ‘Emmanuel-God with us’, and always will be.😊

He is calling each one of us to rest in Him today, because God has provided and revealed the Lamb who bore the sin of the world. He is right now our Risen Glorious King, reigning victorious for evermore and He is still our God, our strong tower and our refuge in all the affairs of our lives. Glory to God. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
