Advent 23

JESUS



23. Jesus

Thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people... that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth….this stone is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Matthew 1: 21
Mark 10: 47
Acts 4: 10 -12; 19: 13
I Corinthians 1: 2; 12: 3



This is the last of the Advent series of the names of our Saviour. In our family tomorrow and the next two days, we will have as the theme of our Christmas celebration services further names of our Saviour from the book of Isaiah. (If anyone would like copies of the services sent you, let me know. They complete this series.)

It was so refreshing to see the verrrrrrrry long lines in the bookshop - even though I had to stand in one. It means people still value printed words on paper in physical covers.




With best wishes that all your busy-nesses are coming together.

  3. Heads up....something seems to be wrong with my apparatus, so if no posts show up in the next days, that is the reason.

    So blessed Christmas, just in case.

  4. This Advent series was delightful to read -- such a blessing to be able to freely talk of and meditate on our precious Savior and His awing work!
