[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (12/21/19)[:]

[:en]HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

As Jacob fled from his borther Esau, he found himself in a strange and lonely place.  Asleep on the hard ground, he met God in a dream.  And God promised him a home.  “I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying.  All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring” (Gen. 28:13-14)

From Jacob came the Messiah, the One who left His home to draw us to Himself.  Jesus told his disciples:  “I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am” (John 14:3)

As we gaze at the lights at Christmas tree, let us think of the Light that entered the world to show us the way home.  God is going to give us a place call HOME. – by (Tim Gustafson)[:]
