Law Gives Freedom Part 2

Over the past few days, we have been looking at a passage which for me in one word speaks about obedience! Being obedient in prayer is a good quality to have. This one phrase "The law give freedom" tells us what happens if we choose to obey this perfect law. We will know freedom! There is one or two New Testament passages which speak about obeying the law.

Matthew 7:24
"Therefore everyone who hears these word of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock".

Romans 8:1-2
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Lord set me from the from the law of sin and death."

I've waited my whole life for this!

Have you spent your whole life waiting for something. The worshippers Simeon and Anna had waited their whole life for the day that Jesus who was their salvation to be born. In fact Simeon was promised that he would tasted death until Jesus the messiah was born.

Anna was a servant of the Lord, a prophetess and notable again for her worship:

Luke 2:38
And at that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

Prayer: Lord give me that real spirit of anticipation as I seek to grow in you and indeed anticpate the 2nd coming.

Advent is Coming!

Well December has come and that is not the only thing: Advent has come invite us to remember the arrival of Jesus who came into the world to live and move amongst us. It invites us to remember not only the first coming but the fact that Jesus is coming again.
So easy to get lost in the tinsel, shopping, eating, presents etc that we do not get lost in wonder, lost in worship! The wise men said that they desired to worship the new born king! We want to come back to basics!
