The incarnation of Jesus Christ is God's clear demonstration that he will always make good on all of his promises to us.
For further study: Romans 8:18 - 39
For parents and children: Ask your children if they know what a guarantee is (an unbreakable pledge to do something for someone). Help them to understand that the Christmas story is God's guarantee that he will also give us everything that we need (not everything we want). If he gave us the amazing gift of his Son, Jesus, we can be sure he will give us all the others we need to be what he wants us to be and do what he's called us to do.
“What
sense would it make for God to go to the extent of sending his Son to be born
for our sake, and then to abandon us along the way? Since God was willing to
make such a huge investment in his grace, isn’t it logical to believe he will
continue to invest in his grace until that grace has finished its work?”
“If
he gave us the amazing gift of his Son, Jesus, we can be sure he will give us
all the other things we need to be what he wants us to be and do what he’s
called us to do.”
“If
God was willing to send his Son to restore our relationship of love with him,
you can be sure that he will not let anything separate us from his love.”
For the month of December, there will be daily posts based on Paul Tripp's Advent book Come Let Us Adore Him.
