The Pilgrim Path (12---25—24)

The Pilgrim Path---Micah 5:2

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.

“WHOSE COMING FORTH IS FROM OLD”

Jesus is one with the Father---and The Holy Spirit. The event at Bethlehem was the birth of the God-Man. The Son has always existed---but not, “born of woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4: 4). Jesus Christ came into this world to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. This Eternal Son came into time---so we might pass into forever---without fear or despair. Only Jesus prepares people for eternity. There is no Merry Christmas without this Savior Jesus! He loved us enough to “take” our moral rebellion upon himself---that we might receive eternal life. His Own---attempt to live like Him---by the Holy Spirit’s power…Help Us LORD…

From Richard Sibbes: This word eternal, it is a heavy word.

From Thomas Manton: Eternity depends upon this moment.

From Thomas Brooks: The great weight of eternity hangs upon the small wire of time.

From Thomas Watson: Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset: eternity to the godless is a night that has no sunrise.

From C. S. Lewis: All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

Grace & peace in Jesus, The Only Redeemer of broken and wretched souls, Pastor Jason

Happy Christmas in the healing & helping Christ---who loves people like us!
