“Thou Hast Done Wonderful Things!”


The Message today Our Theme in this Christmas Season has been Thankfulness!  Thankful for God’s mercy, Thankful for His hope, Thankful for Jesus joy, and Thankful for The Holy Spirit that brings peace through the Sacrifices of our Father and His Son, Jesus Christ! We were comforted by the MERCY of God that overwhelms us when we think of all that He has forgiven us!  And daily His Goodness and Mercy follows us, not just today, but “all the days of our life.” Let us be reminded that Mercy is –  “compassionate treatment shown to an offender, and implies Compassion is that which forgives punishment even when Justice demands it! What a Wonderful Father in Heaven!  O the Wonderful Things of God!  The Glorious Promises in His Word that fills the soul with HOPE.  God takes pleasure in us when we fear Him and Hope in His Mercy!  Hope is a strong word brought into our life by a Loving Saviour: Hope is a desire accompanied by expectation! O saints, we need this “Earnest Expectation” as the creature of God as we wait for Jesus return! Let us wait with JOY in our heart for Jesus has given us His Joy!  His Joy can overcome the circumstances of this life and bring us victorious into His Powerful Presence!  His Joy in us, the Hope of Glory!  Jesus has given us “fullness of Joy” through His shed Blood, the offering of His life for our Eternal Life.  This should awaken PEACE in our life even in the midst of this broken and wicked generation. We have this Sure Word: “Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great JOY, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Jesus has given to us a Peace that passes all understanding, a Peace that will endure the adversities of this natural life. He was given as a Child which we celebrate today, however the Greatest Advent is yet to come ... Jesus the once Child has now become our Resurrected Lord & Saviour!  He shall return, hear the Word of the Lord ... “Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him ...”!  He will be clothed with vesture dipped in Blood: and His name is called The Word of God!  He is our Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace!  Wonderful, wonderful Jesus! Have a Wonderful Christmas as you celebrate Jesus, Loving you, Pastor
Benediction
O Lord God, The Gift of Your Son has opened to us to many Gifts You prepared for us. The Gifts of Love, Joy, and Peace!

Amen.
