Luke 3.1-20-In many different ways John preached the good news to the people.
Ezekiel 40-41-This is a reminder that the LORD is constantly watching over his temple
Isaiah 62-People of Jerusalem, open your gates!
John 21.20-25-and we know that his testimony is true.
Revelation 1.1-7-Look! He is coming with the clouds…
Psalm 29-May the LORD give strength to his people!
"Do you want to play a game?"- Seems like Christmas is a time to play games with family and friends. Time to stop, talk and play. It’s one way that I see Jesus birth alive in others. To see Jesus in the play of games. Life-Conversation and celebration of a slower time- time to stop and play a game- knowing all along that Jesus is present -–watching over- playing within this game of life in which we live- playing in the pain- playing in the sorrow- playing in the sadness- but playing along side of you and me all the way- open the gates of my heart and welcome you in the playing of games- I know that Jesus in present in my life- that is my testimony- he is real- but I also know that this isn’t all there is- things will change- change dramatically- Jesus will come again in the clouds to bring about that change- just like God existed with the Israelites in the cloud- Jesus – God will return once again to change things- and then all his people will be strong and fulfilled and changed into whatever God chooses to change us into- I guess that will be the end of this game and the fulfillment of a new fantastic game to come—"Do you want to play a game?" – Yes- Jesus- I’ll play with you all day long.
Prayer- Lord, Let’s play! -- Amen
