What the Thunder Said...

“ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ” Isaiah 9:6

Merry Christmas!

Hopefully, one of the things you do to keep your sanity amongst the presents and consumerism is reflect on the Christmas story. Here's one way to reflect on it, instead of the traditional Luke 2:

And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God...
Revelation 12:1 - 6

As you celebrate the birth of the Lord of the Universe, may your homes and families be filled with His shalom and the radiance of the glory of the Gospel of God. May you taste His good will and favor as you rest in your Shepherd, and await the fulfillment of the Day of the Lord.

O Jerusalem, your King comes to you!
