Day 31 - Who is Jesus to you?

John 1:1-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Word Became Flesh

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Day 30

Isaiah 53 English Standard Version (ESV)

53 Who has believed what he has heard from us?
    And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
    and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
    and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men,

Day 29 - The Best is Yet to Come

John 11:24-26 English Standard Version (ESV)

24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Day 26

John 8:12
“When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life’”

Day 25 - Let's Pray

Father God,

 

As we rise this Christmas morning may our first prayer be of thanksgiving for your gift to us, that of your Son Jesus Christ.

And as each moment of this day passes may we more fully comprehend the fulness of your gift of salvation to us and to the world.

May our rejoicing at this day not be a private and internal celebration, but let us proclaim it as we exchange gifts and share fellowship together.

May those at our table who do not know you, learn something of you this day, and start a journey towards you.

Day 24 - Mahood and Deity

Luke 3:21-38 English Standard Version (ESV)

21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
