REVEALING

Christmas

JOSHUA 24:23 (CEV)
Joshua said, “But you still have some idols, like those the other nations worship. Get rid of your idols! You must decide once and for all that you really want to obey the LORD God of Israel.”

JOHN 1:18 (NLT)
No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus has come to more clearly reveal God to us.

PRAYER
God, this is a great day to celebrate the gift of your Son Jesus. Thank you for sending him into the world to reveal yourself to us. Forgive me for pretending that I need to see more to fully trust you. Help me to recognize the transforming power of the incarnation. I'm going to celebrate and trust. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
