At
the age of two our son thinks he can do everything himself and yet is very much
in need of our help with even simple tasks.
For instance, as he attempts to climb on the couch with his hands full
of toys he finds it extremely difficult.
He tries and tries until through sheer frustration he begins to
complain. That, of course, is the cue
for us to help him get onto the couch.
It is
the same with the relationship between us and Christ. When our strength wanes it is Christ’s
strength that picks us up. What does
this look like practically in the life of a disciple? What does this have to do with the Christmas
season? What encouragement is there in
the realization of our weakness and Christ’s strength?
Join
us this Sunday as we look into God’s word for the truth about the strength of
Christ. May the Spirit prepare us and speak
to us as we hear the Gospel message of the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ.
