Making Connections Dec 21

December 21 Micah 5:2-5, Matthew 2:1-6, John  16:33 , Philippians 4:4-7   Making Connections:   I love the power of God to turn the small into the great. Jesus is our majestic Shepherd-King, able to give us security & peace. And yet, His arrival & much of His ministry were in more humble circumstances than those to befit a king. His birth took place in the tiny town of Bethlehem in a stable. God did use the glory of the heavens to declare the birth of Jesus, and yet, the only ones who seemed to recognize it were wise men from the east. The very first people who came to worship the baby Jesus were lowly shepherds, straight from the fields.   But in the same way that Jesus' majesty & glory arrived in surprising humility on earth, I think security & peace also come in surprising forms. Jesus is called the Prince of Peace, and the Bible promises peace to believers. Yet if we look at the lives of many of the saints, they were anything but peaceful. Our

Making Connections Dec 20 December 20 Daniel 7:9-14, Matthew 26:62-68, Revelation 1:12-20   Making Connections:   Have you ever had the experience of being in the presence of someone great? People wait in line for hours for book signing by famous authors or pay great sums of money for a backstage pass at a concert. Whole business in Los Angeles are dedicated to driving tourists by the homes of celebrities. This sense of awe is why it can be so crushing when one of these heroes falls. If we did not hold them in some esteem, we would have no sense of disappointment when they prove that they are like us: human.   So often I think that we don't have a full picture of the grandeur & awesomeness of God's power. When John sees the vision of the Son of Man, he fell at His feet as though dead, and I think we would (and will) do the same. Yet Jesus, who deserves every bit of adoration & awe, stoops to touch John & says, "Fear not."   We have a k

December 19 Ezekiel 34, John 10:1-18   Making Connections:   Each name or image given to the Messiah reveals something about His character. Though shepherds are sort of far-removed from most of our western cultures today, God gives shepherds an importance in Scripture that helps bridge the gap in our understanding. From David the shepherd king to the 23rd Psalm to the shepherds who get the good news of Jesus' birth, God gives this lowly occupation significance.   Both Ezekiel & John give such a personal picture of what our Good Shepherd looks like: He is a personal shepherd whose sheep know His voice. He knows the sheep & cares for them, enough to lay down His life.   Jesus also calls Himself the door in John 10:9. Similar to calling Himself the way (John 14:6), Jesus is both the shepherd who leads us & also the gate through which we must pass. In laying down his life for the sheep, He becomes the way & the door. Without that work on the cross,

Making Connections Review Dec 17

Making Connections: December 17 Isaiah 49:6-10, Acts 13:44-49, Revelation 7:14-17   Making Connections:   Perhaps because Jesus arrived without the glory & fanfare that the Jewish people expected, He was not recognized as Messiah before & rejected even after the resurrection. Though Jesus will be worshiped, In Isaiah 49:7 it also says that He will be despised, and Acts 13 shows a piece of this fulfillment: even as the Jews despised Jesus & the Gospel, God opened the way for the Gentiles.   Though we have seen that Jesus fulfilled so many specific prophecies, He was also in many ways not what the Jewish people expected. So many promises of a king, and yet Jesus in His incarnation did not seem royal. They hoped for a king to restore Israel & overthrow Rome, yet Jesus was not political & did not engage in even remote talk of government takeover.   Yet, look at the sweet promises available for Jews & Gentiles alike: He will bring people out of

Making Connections Review Dec 16

Making Connections: December 16 Isaiah 42:1-10, Matthew 12:9-21   Making Connections:   If you were to create a plan for a world takeover, how would you start? Maybe something attention grabbing first - an explosion or an interruption of all television broadcasts everywhere. If you want power, you need to make your name & presence known by something large.   To redeem the world, how did Jesus' earthly ministry look? Was it packed stadiums & a great marketing campaign, teaching in the biggest cities & performing miracles in the temple of Jerusalem? The way Jesus ran His ministry would probably baffle those familiar with business or political strategies today. Yes, He attracts crowds & did miracles. But He spoke mostly in smaller cities & towns, often retreating to lonely places when He began attracting too much attention. Sometimes He even told those whom He had healed that they should keep quiet.   Isaiah 42 speaks of the great works tha
