Do They
All Know Christ?
Dec. 21, 2013– Colossians 1
Colossians
1 “The apostle Paul salutes the Colossians,
and blesses God for their faith, love, and hope. (1-8) Prays for their
fruitfulness in spiritual knowledge. (9-14) Gives a glorious view of Christ.
(15-23) And sets out his own character, as the apostle of the Gentiles. (24-29)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise
Dear
Saints,
Colossians An
Overview “This epistle was sent because of some difficulties which arose
among the Colossians, probably from false teachers, in consequence of which they
sent to the apostle. The scope of the epistle is to show, that all hope of man's
redemption is founded on Christ, in whom alone are all complete fulness,
perfections, and sufficiency. The Colossians are cautioned against the devices
of judaizing teachers, and also against the notions of carnal wisdom, and human
inventions and traditions, as not consistent with full reliance on Christ. In
the first two chapters the apostle tells them what they must believe, and in the
two last what they must do; the doctrine of faith, and the precepts of life for
salvation.” -
Matthew Henry Concise
In Colossians 1 Paul
is saying that, faithful fellowship with all Christians is observed by saints
everywhere. He goes on to say Jesus will
be glorified by their faithfulness. Paul
proclaims that suffering for the body is equal to suffering for the head. “28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with
all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil,
struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within
me.” Colossians
1:28-29 - English Standard Version (ESV).
These scriptures
remind us that faith, hope, and love, are in the nature of the Christians (see
Colossians 1:5-6). We now are the elect
Saints that have matured to carry the love of Jesus to the world. “6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.
7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths
and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the
inn.” Luke 2:6-7 ESV. Now they recognize
Jesus as the baby in a manger. If we are
faithful to carry the Word of God to the world they will understand who Jesus
really is (see
Matthew
28:16-20).
Jesus let us carry your
Word to the world this Christmas season! Hallelujah!
Is Jesus calling
you? Do you want to experience perfect
love? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?

house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was
with child.” Luke 2:4-5

How Can I Share Christ This Christmas Season?

Today’s Feast
Our Citizenship Is In Heaven!
Dec. 20, 2013– Philippians 4
Philippians 4 “The
apostle exhorts the Philippians to stand fast in the Lord. (1) Gives
directions to some, and to all in general. (2-9) Expresses contentment in
every condition of life. (10-19) He concludes with prayer to God the Father,
and his usual blessing. (20-23))” – Matthew Henry Concise
Dear Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Philippians. By reading Philippians 4. Paul is telling the Philippians to support
their fellow Christians. He tells them
of the blessing he receives from being in service to Jesus. “21 Greet
every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you. 22 All
the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
be with your spirit.” Philippians 4:22-23 - English Standard Version (ESV). I didn’t think I would see the day when
people would be persecuted for quoting the Word of God in the USA. I now understand that we are engaged in a
war with powers, principalities and spiritual forces of evil (see Ephesians 6:12). Many people are not
even allowed to wish others Merry Christmas in the work place. “4 And
Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the
city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and
lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with
child.” Luke 2:4-5 ESV. I don’t advocate
rebelling against your employer. Jesus provides us with our employment and we
must honor our employers (see Matthew 10:16). So when you are the
customer at any business during the Christmas Season at the conclusion of
your business wish the people you are dealing with a hearty; “Merry Christmas!”
In doing so you are reminding people
that at Christmas we are still worshiping Jesus!
Father help us to share Christmas with
those we patronize this year and every year until you take us home! Hallelujah!
Wait! Is Jesus calling you? Do you want to answer His call? Do you want to find true happiness, peace
and purpose in your life? If the
answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://www.admenu.com/calling.htm

“76 And you, child, will be called the
prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his
ways,77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of
their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise
shall visit us from on high” Luke 1:68-70 ESV.

Our Savior, Who is Christ The Lord!

Today’s Feast
The Savior, Who is Christ The Lord!
Dec. 19, 2013– Philippians 3
Philippians 3 “The
apostle cautions the Philippians against judaizing false teachers, and
renounces his own former privileges. (1-11) Expresses earnest desire to be
found in Christ; also his pressing on toward perfection; and recommends his
own example to other believers. (12-21)” – Matthew Henry Concise
Dear Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Philippians. By reading Philippians 3. Paul is telling the Philippians that salvation
is not given for keeping law. He
reiterates salvation is the gift of God paid for through Jesus. “20 But
our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus
Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by
the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.” Philippians 3:20 - English Standard Version (ESV). We are saved by our Savior Jesus the
Christmas gift to all people (see Luke 2:11). We are sharing Jesus
with all mankind; Jesus is the gift for the Christmas season. “76 And
you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go
before the Lord to prepare his ways,77 to give knowledge of salvation to his
people in the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of
our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high” Luke 1:68-70 ESV. We thank God the
Father for our citizenship in heaven through Jesus God coming to us as a baby
in the Christmas season (see Philippians 3:20).
Lord we invite all men to share in
your Christmas gift! Hallelujah!
Can you hear Jesus calling you? Do you know he won’t call forever? Do you want to find true happiness, peace
and purpose in your life? If the

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for
he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation
for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his
holy prophets from of old,” Luke 1:68-70 ESV.
