Authority

Psalm 2:8

Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.        

The Lord created everything on earth, including human beings. He can give them to anyone he wishes. Jesus Christ had declared it in Matthew 28:18, 18All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. He has authority over every person on earth, but Christ chose only genuine believers that God the Father had given him to be with him in heaven. In his prayer, Christ had stated a reality that believers should be aware of in John 17:1-2, 1Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.

Christmas season is joyful moment of celebration, but not everyone wants to be part of Christmas celebration. Why? Genuine believers whom God had chosen to be with him in his heaven will acknowledge and sincerely believe that Christ is the Savior of sinful humanity. But still there are other individuals who may take part in the celebration of Christmas without much knowledge of what they are celebrating. God may have prepared already the potential believer you may testify to about the reason Christ was born on earth as human Jesus. Christ has prayed for all believers in John 17:24, 24Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

The gladness you may have when you celebrate Christmas, how wonderful is it when you celebrate Christmas with loved ones, friends and relatives? Wonderful gladness is never enough to describe in words the glorious moment we will have when we come face to face with Jesus Christ and see his glory.

Pray for discernment to know when opportunity comes this Christmas to tell our loved ones their need to sincerely trust Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

  Lord Jesus, let me know the person you prepared to believe in you.
