Joy To The World
I remember clearly about 53 years ago when the words of this amazing Christmas carol left me in awe. I was with my close friend, Jerry, and we were driving through town in a 1964 VW Bug on a chilly evening in December. The windows were down, the radio turned up, and as the fresh air swept through the car, this song began playing and we enthusiastically sang along. This moment led to a most memorable Christmas as it was the first one where I began to hear clearly in my favorite carols the “good news of great joy that shall be for all people.” . . .
The Name Above Every Name
One of the most beautiful descriptions of Jesus’ willingness to humble Himself for the sake of humanity is found in Philippians 2:6-11. Rather than coming to earth in power and glory as God and King, Jesus instead freely took on the form of a human being to serve others rather than be served. His public ministry climaxed when He gave up His life on a cross . . .
It Is Finished!
When Jesus proclaimed “It is finished” from the cross at Calvary, He declared that what was accomplished would span eternity. This passionate statement represents the pinnacle of God’s redemptive plan for humanity that was formulated by the Triune God before the beginning of time . . .
