The Holy Father, recognizing the total inability of sinful man to be in relationship with a Holy God, sent His only Son (Jesus – the God-man) to provide the perfect (complete) sacrifice, once and for all, to satisfy the righteousness requirements of a Holy God.
The Son came and showed us the character of the Father and how to obey God by the power of the Holy Spirit. He lived the perfect life having no sin. When the time for the sacrifice came, the Son showed us how to obey the Father unto death.
Having left the earth to return to the right hand of the Father, the Son left us the Holy Spirit to be our comforter, teacher, and the guarantee of our inheritance. The Holy Spirit is given to those who belong to the Son – for whom the Son shed His sacrificial blood.
May your Christmas be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. May you know the goodness of the Lord in all things especially in your personal relationship with Him, as you walk and abide with Him. Be encouraged, He is coming back soon for His church. May you be found ready, with plenty of oil in your lamp.
