Power Of A Helpful God

Key Scripture:  "Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace-the throne of God's unmerited favor to us; that we may receive mercy (for our failures), and find grace to help in good time for every need-appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it."  Hebrews 4:16

Power Point:

     Jesus can help.  Isn't that the best part of the good news that the angel shared that night?  Isn't that the point of the Gospel?  Jesus can HELP you. He wants to help you to have the power of His peace; to walk on the water of your circumstances, and to live filled, not empty. He's a Savior who saves people.  He helps us to find our way when we're lost and then He walks the way with us.

     When we take what He has to offer, we receive a blessing.  From that moment on, we can live in the blessing of God's presence, protection, provision and power working in us. We are never alone again.  From that moment on, we have a choice about our lives.  The fact that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin is a good thing. It means that we've been delivered into a glorious heavenly kingdom where Love is the ruling factor, and Perfect Love always reaches out to help.

      God is not sin conscious. He's already dealt with it.  He's not focused on the negatives. He is very positively focused on all that He wants to do for us, on how He can help. Isn't that the most important thing we need to know; the fact that Jesus is on our side- that He came to help?

Don't we need to understand that His heart for us is so humble and kind and that He wants to exchange our weaknesses for His strength; His peace for our chaos and His joy for our sorrow?

     That's the Jesus that people need to see, and Jesus will help us to be that person for them.

Do you have a problem?  Jesus can help.

Are you discouraged and disappointed?  Jesus can help.

Is there something you need?  Jesus can help you. And He wants to.

     When Jesus was born, the angels filled the heavens with songs of joy at this WONDERFUL thing that God had done. His promise was fulfilled.  Our hearts can be full of that same spirit of rejoicing because our lives can now be filled with anticipation of His goodness and hope for the future because we know that Jesus can help!

      

     As you mediate on the joys of Christmas today, remember that you have an extraordinary God, who SO LOVES the world, that He wants to help them. He sent Jesus to do just that. 

 Power Thought:

The JOY of Christmas is that God wanted to help us and He did. Will you receive His gift?
