CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Jesus, God’s voice
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
When we are angry, we often give in to the "silent treatment." Where we just refuse to talk to those, we are angry with; sometimes for days. Yes! Hostility breeds silence. Before the fall into sin, Adam and Eve had talked openly with God in the Garden of Eden. But after they sinned, they were sent out of the garden and no longer spoke with God in the same way. To the generations that followed, God spoke mainly through prophets, but even that was relatively rare. God's children tried and tested God's patience again and again, and if you read the words of the prophets, you can sense the tension as the people repeatedly failed to listen. Finally, God's voice grew silent, and by the time of the writing of the New Testament, it was accounted to us that God had not spoken for almost 400 years.
In the New Testament God breaks that silence. Hebrews 1:1-2 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”. Indeed, it was because of his great love that God came to us in Christ. Therefore, as we celebrate Christmas let’s be thankful for God did not give up on us even when we were hopeless. Let’s also remember that when hostility and enmity exist in our lives, because of Christ we can break the silence and offer what God has offered us; a word of grace.
PRAYER
Lord, we are grateful for gracefully speaking to us again & again even when we are hopeless. Help us to stay focused. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
