1Jesus came to orient all our attention on himself, ministering for us first on Calvary as our final Sacrifice and then in heaven as our final Priest.
In dying, Christ de-fanged the devil. How? By covering all our sin. This means that Satan has no legitimate grounds to accuse us before God.
Giving gifts to Christ is like fasting — going without something to show that Christ is more valuable than what you are going without.
Let this Christmas be the time when you ponder what it means — what it costs — to worship and follow Jesus, the Messiah.
God influenced the stars in the sky to get a little handful of foreign magi to Bethlehem so that they would worship his Son.
Christmas proves how Jesus is Messiah — a King, and Promise-Fulfiller — for all the nations, not just Israel.
The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God’s peace is faith in the promises of God.
God could have seen to it that Jesus have a room at his birth. But that would have been a detour off the Calvary road.
Do not think, because you experience adversity, that the hand of the Lord is shortened.
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
The only people whose soul can truly magnify the Lord are people like Elizabeth and Mary. So, this Advent, imitate their lowliness and cheerful humility.
This Advent, bend the efforts of your imagination to make the wonder of Jesus’s arrival visible for your children.
No matter how dirty with sin you are, through Christ you can see the light of God’s glory and believe.
Our greatest problem is alienation from God. The only solution is the blood of Christ.
At the root of all ingratitude is the love of one’s own greatness. But genuine gratitude glorifies God because it admits that we need him.
The whole duty of the Christian can be summed up in this: feel, think, and act in a way that will make God look as great as he really is.
Our salvation is as secure as Christ’s priesthood is indestructible. His deity and resurrection from the dead secure his indestructible priesthood for us.
A life that gives glory to God for his grace and a life of deepest gladness are the same life. And what makes them one is thankfulness.
When Christ died for us, he did not buy the freedom from having to hold fast, but the enabling power to hold fast.
It is as unlikely that God will break his word of promise to bless us as it is that he will despise himself.
