“That You May Believe”

S – John 20:31 ”but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”

O – John is sharing by the written Word the many miracles that Jesus preformed while He walked the earth and that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and if we would believe we will have life in His name.”

A – BELIEVE…This is a famous word at this time of year. It is also famous for, “what do you believe or who do you believe or what or who do you believe in? John wrote, “these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.” I guess it all comes down to choice, and in believing in the inspired Word of God. For me…..I choose to “believe” as we celebrate His birth on Christmas day that Jesus was born of a virgin, Emmanuel, who made blind men see and the lame to walk, sacrificed Himself and died on Calvary’s cross because of His great love towards us and rose again so that if we “believe” we too will have eternal life and live with Him in eternity.

P- Father thank you for Your most precious gift of love. May our focus be on the reason why we celebrate Christmas and choose to….BELIEVE. Merry Christmas!
