DAY 31 WITH THE SON

I'm taking the 40 days leading up the Christmas to focus on the life of Jesus and do a mini-reflection and devotion. I'm following along with Liza on her special blog called 40 Days with the Son, based on the Max Lucado book 3:16.

Here is how to join us in reflection of the spirit of this upcoming holiday season.

DISGRACED: "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!' " John 1:29

I wonder what the other disciples thought when John declared this title upon Jesus. Again, they were told by Jesus himself and others he was the Messiah and they were shown- first hand miracles that should solidify Jesus as the one true Savior that the Old Testament had predicted for centuries. But they still didn't get it- they still questioned Jesus and his powers. They still betrayed him and were still doubtful when he was crucified.

Just.
like.
us.

It's all spelled out for us in the Bible. We have the benefit of history and being able to study and scrutinize every word of the Bible. We can watch news from all over the world and see how God is working in every corner of the world. We have more abundance than any people have ever had. Yet, we still doubt and many still reject the gift of the Cross.

GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: It was so awesome to have 2 days to catch up on sleep this weekend!
