Merry Christmas and Lets Eat.

Really hopelessly lost and wretched, we are, without JESUS.  GOD says our ‘good works, are filthy rags’.  Isaiah 64:6  Not telling us  yet about our bad works, but good works.

In the New Testament (New Covenant in JESUS) by Great Exchange.

Paul said it this way; ‘in me dwells no good thing’.  Romans 7:18


Apart from JESUS we are spiritually bankrupt.


Interesting that when JESUS came, HE came as an insignificant baby born with the world rejecting HIM, and no place in their homes/lives for HIM (no room in the inn).  Luke 2:7

 Then born in a manger – a feeding trough for animals.  Very lowly, very sad, very pathetic, very helpless place.

The word comes from the French manger (meaning "to eat"), from Latin manducare (meaning "to chew").

So, I don’t know about you, but to have my children born in a barn feeding area is not my idea of the best place to have a child or to keep it.  But that is the place the KING OF KINGS decided to be born.  And that place was also used as a sign to the shepherds who heard the angels say that; “This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Luke 2:12

The LORD showed me 2 things about this scene just this morning and they are this:

1)      We who are interested in hearing from GOD, hearing HIS voice better (which is a prayer of mine), keep in mind that when GOD came as JESUS, HE went to the least, almost nothing place and to shepherds, who weren’t nobility or the intellectual.  No but only the ‘pure in heart see GOD’ Matthew 5:8.  Those without a divided heart, or a hard heart, but a pure heart (it doesn’t say a heart without sin) but a heart that wants only HIM – not HIS gifts, but HIMSELF!

2)      Placed in a manger, which is the place animals slop their food and eat.  But JESUS later said to ‘eat HIS flesh’ and ‘drink HIS blood’, (see John 6:54-56) because HE is the ‘manna from heaven’ the bread of life (see John 6:35, and John 6:48) and the ‘sacrificial lamb’ that the Jews were instructed to eat at Passover (see 1 Corinthians 5:7).  Cook and eat the entire lamb (see Exodus 12)  You see, if you take JESUS (not religion, not churchianity, not Sabbath keeping, or pew attending but real hunger to eat and take from JESUS only, understanding that  HE is the ‘last supper’ meal, the ‘communion’ of GOD with man – take HIM and HIM only, and when HE fills you, you won’t have room for anything else!  Open your mouth so HE can fill it! (see Psalm 81:10)

What a GOD!

What an Amazing Journey and seeing miracles! HE is our life!

This is the season that reminds us that HE comes to us, and that is the greatest miracle, that HE cares and comes even now to each of us!

HE is the gift.

Heaven’s best for us.

Amen
