Christmas thoughts and wishes
Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because He has come and has redeemed his people. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us... Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. ...The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
Luke 1:68-69a, John 15:13, Isaiah 9:7
The zeal. Webster's dictionary defines zeal as the eagerness and ardent interest in pursuit of something. God gave His son to be our savior out of mercy, with grace, in love, and with zeal! Jesus, the Son of God, was and is part of His eager pursuit for our fallen hearts. With fervor He has fought the fight and won. With zeal we are chosen, pursued, and saved!!!
May your hearts thrill with the thought that One has and is zealously pursuing and saving you!
May your Christmas be merry and bright!
