Season of Advent: "Jesus Mission: Earth's Redemption"

 Good Wednesday Morning.

The 'celebration of Christmas' is just a few days away. I believe that when we 'celebrate Christmas', it is a way to remember Jesus' mission & our recommitment to 'His mission' and calling in our lives.

The 'humble launch site'.

Yesterday, we learned about 'Bethlehem' being 'termed' the 'launch site' of the 'Good News' via the Old Testament prophets and on the night Jesus was born through 'the angels'.

'Jesus the Messiah's Mission' was to come, to teach the 'good news' and to seek out the lost and to die for the sins of the world. And, He was completely successful in that mission.

So, now what?? 

He places us on our mission's 'launch pad' to share His LIGHT. 

Please read & consider:

The Life-Light
1-2  The Word was first,
the Word present to God,
God present to the Word.
The Word was God,
in readiness for God from day one.
3-5 Everything was created through him;
nothing—not one thing!—
came into being without him.
What came into existence was Life,
and the Life was Light to live by.
The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness;
the darkness couldn’t put it out.
so that we could have LIFE and LIGHT.

John 1:1-5 MSG

'“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. 

Matthew 5:13-16 MSG
