salvation
is nearer
SCRIPTURE
"The hour has already come for you to wake up
from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first
believed." Romans 13:11
OBSERVATION
While ancient prophecies made about the coming of the Messiah
likely caused a sense of hope for people, there was probably also a sense of
restlessness wondering when-or if-God would ever show up.
All of a sudden when Jesus arrived, the prophecies
from hundreds of years earlier were no longer just ancient texts-they were
coming true in real time. The Messiah was no longer just a wish for the future,
but was hope for the present.
Just like 2000 years ago, many people today have their
doubts about Jesus, but will likely face a curveball when He
returns one day
APPLICATION
Jesus is salvation, which means that He saves. Saves
from what? From the consequences of your sin. Your imperfect actions put you at
odds with a perfect God. However, that same perfect God sent His perfect Son to
pay for the mistakes you have made. Be thinking of someone you can invite to
your church's Christmas service so they can hear this message of truth and
hope.
PRAYER
God, place on my heart someone near me whom I know who
doesn't know you. I want to help share the good news
with those around me. Amen
Ko e hā e me‘a ‘oku ha‘u ki ho‘o
fakakaukaú ‘i he hoko mai ‘a e
Kilisimasi? –
(What
do you think of when Christmas comes around? )
