The baptism of Jesus in the Jordan river inaugurated the coming of his messianic kingdom. In this kingdom can be found forgiveness for sins, power for new life, and the fulfillment of God’s eternal purposes to make for himself a people conformed to the image of his Son.
The true transformation we seek at the start of a new year can only be found in Christ as we submit ourselves totally to him as living sacrifices pleasing unto God.
What would it take for you to believe that God loves you? That he delights in you with wordless adoration? That he sings and rejoices over you from a place deep within his own heart? To know this with certainty, look no further than the manger at Christmas, which points directly to the cross.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Christmas Gifts Scripture: Zephaniah 3:14-17
The people of God are called to be a people who rejoice. We rejoice because Christ’s first Advent means Immanuel, God with us, but also because at his second Advent we will rest in safety, forever; our souls will not be left among the dead, but will be raised to everlasting life; and he will grant us the joy of his direct presence and the pleasures of life with him forevermore.
Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Christmas Gifts Scripture: Psalm 16
