WE BEGIN OUR PREPARATION TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
Let us seek to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate arguably the happiest season of the year- Christmas! Let us focus, as we should, on the Person whose birth we honour and celebrate- the Lord Jesus Christ!
THE PERSOM OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
This year we will take time to focus on the Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us look at some of the thoughts featured in the Book of Hebrews.
God who at various times and in various ways
Spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
Has in these last days spoken to us by His Son,
Whom He has appointed heir of all things,
Through whom also He made the worlds;
Who being in the brightness of His glory
And the express image of His person,
And upholding all things by the word of His power,
When He had by Himself purged our sins,
Sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:1-4
