He Is Jesus, Warrior King

We owe glory, praise and honour, gratitude and worship to Jesus the risen King. With all that we, along with the brothers and sisters in our communities and across all nations, have gone through the past several months may we find Him in our darkest hours. I know that maybe this Advent season we feel that we just don’t have it in us to celebrate. Maybe this past year has been overshadowed by a heaviness that refuses to budge, like the joy has been sucked out of you. But Scripture teaches us that Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day for all of humanity! Those who are broken, hurt and disappointed. Those who are celebrating and joyful. Those who have strayed so far from God, and those who rest under His covering. Jesus was born in a barn for the messy and the forgotten. He came to restore the wholeness that comes from a relationship with God. He came to flood our hearts with peace that just doesn’t make sense in todays’s world. Like a warrior who goes to battle to protect a kingdom, Jesus came not merely to wash away our sin but to conquer sin, to conquer death. As we celebrate this season, lets not forget: We can only be forgiven, healed, and set free because Jesus Christ was born. That is Christmas.
