“The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from Heaven is above all.” 

(John 3:31)

When Jesus came on earth, God Almighty came on earth. He did not come from dust; that is why He did not go back to dust. He came from Heaven and He went back to Heaven. That is why He rose from the dead.

Although He was born in a manger and grew to be a man, He was from above and He came to show us a Kingdom from above, the Kingdom of Heaven.

 

We believe the Bible is true because of the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ Himself believed the Scriptures. He quoted them as being the absolute Words of God. He proved the Scriptures. He taught them. He lived by them and He made them work.

 

As we celebrate Christ’s birth this festive season, let us thank God for Jesus’ Words that are Spirit and life.  For as He said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”  

 

WHAT BELONGS TO GOD

This instruction of Jesus reminds us that whatever we do in this earth, whatever we encounter and whatever comes our way, nothing should take our heart from God. Different responsibilities, challenges and pressures may fight for our attention but nothing should take the place of God in our heart, because our heart belongs to Him.

ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD YOU

When we pay attention to the Word of God, seeing it not as an ordinary word but the Word of God, then our mind will be renewed and our heart will begin to desire the things from above. We must be spiritually inclined to discover spiritual things.

THE GARDEN OF DECISION

In the garden of Eden, a place of pleasure, a place of abundance, a place of intimacy with God, Adam disobeyed.
In the garden of Gethsemane, a place of pain, a place of sorrow, a place of suffering where before Him was the weight of the sins of the world and rejection from God, Jesus obeyed.
