Don't Miss the Savior

Imagine being a wife and mom anticipating your best birthday party ever . . . turning the big 4-0! There will be cake, gifts, decorations, etc. Yet the cake has someone else's name on it. . . . your husband's! The gifts have his name on them as well and not yours. Now that you look a bit closer at the decorations, they are for him as well. . . . all about sports . . . his team not yours! Those who popped up and yelled, "surprise!" aren't even your friends, but his!!!

Wait a minute! Your big celebration and the cake, the gifts, the decorations, the friends . . . all about him and not you? Huh???? Now we know how Jesus might feel . . . not just on CHRISTmas but every week when we go to His house to worship Him and we expect to be entertained!

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”(John 4:21-26)

The Samaritan woman nearly missed the Savior. Let's not miss Him this Season of CHRISTmas!
