Fake Worship False Starts and Final Joy - JS Gillespie  

 

Fake worship, false starts and failed priests; there was a whole lot of background noise around the birth of Jesus. You might have thought that everyone would have taken Jesus seriously; after all it isn't every day that the God who made you and the God who will judge you communicates with you. Instead of a rapturous reception, Jesus is met by wise men who took the wrong turning, priests who weren't that interested and a king who wanted rid of Him! Matthew is clear as to why we need Him. Jesus is God; conceived by the Spirit of God, declared by the heavens and prophesied of for millennia. He may even be the God you have been running away from! Afraid to hear from Him. Afraid to face Him! Yet here in Matthew chapter 1 that same God is the only one able to save you! God's saving work is by a person: Jesus "for He shall save His people from their sins." When we finally find Him there is eternal and enduring Joy.

The value of a Son The Plight of a Soul The Passion of our God - The Prodigal Returns - Luke chp 15 - JS Gillespie  

 

It may seem vague and open ended, nameless and timeless, Christ meant it so to be. Fit yourself into the parable of the prodigal son in Luke chapter 15. Fit yourself into the pride and entitlement of the man. Fit yourself into the wasted life. Fit yourself into the disappointment of a world found empty. Fit yourself into the friendless exploitation. Fit yourself into the hungering emptiness. Fit yourself into the bitter regret. Most of all fit yourself into the realisation of a life gone terribly wrong, wrecked inside, sending shockwaves through family and friends and realise that ultimately the rebellion is against God and the sin is before heaven. Feel the emptiness and the brokenness and then turn. Turn to the one you have insulted and sinned against. Turn and return to your God. His heart is bigger than your hell, His arms wider than the breadth of you despair. 

There is One God - 1 Timothy chp 2 vs 5 - Tom Gray   

Our mind perceives the reality of God from the complexity of the created world around us. What our mind perceives our heart declares to us. What our heart declares our conscience convicts us of. God is real. God is one. His standards hold us to ultimate account and before them all are found sinners. As clear and emphatic as the bible is, as to our fallen condition before a Holy God, it is every bit as clear regarding the path of forgiveness and salvation; by Grace alone, through faith alone in the person of God's Son; Jesus Christ. God's great provision for our need of a Saviour, our perfect substitute, the bearer of our sins and the means of forgiveness and reconciliation to an offended God. Do you know Him? Have you trusted Him?
