O Words...26 Days of Christmas...

O HOLY NIGHT, WHEN THE MESSIAH, CHRIST JESUS, WAS BORN THAT NIGHT LONG AGO, GIVING MEANING TO ALL OUR DAYS & NIGHTS...TODAY, THE 15th, LET'S LOOK AT 'O' WORDS PRIMARILY..... IN MY 26 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS...

ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER, OUR POTTER, OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, OUR CAPTAIN, OUR LIFE, OUR GUIDE, OUR PEACE, OUR KING, OUR LAWGIVER, OUR JUDGE.

SONG OF SOLOMON 1:3 SAYS, "BECAUSE OF THE SAVOUR OF THY GOOD OINTMENTS, THY NAME IS AS OINTMENT POURED FORTH"...THE OINTMENT CHRIST OFFERS IS FREE, ABUNDANT, READY, FRAGRANT & HEALING.

OUR LORD IS OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT & OMNIPRESENT...JESUS SAID IN REVELATION 3:20, "BEHOLD! I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK: IF ANYONE HEARS MY VOICE, AND WILL OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL SUP WITH THEM, AND THEY WITH ME." (I LOVE THE PAINTING BY HOLMAN, WHICH DEPICTS CHRIST STANDING AT A DOOR KNOCKING, AND THERE IS 'NO HANDLE' ON THE OUTSIDE...MEANING OF COURSE, THAT THE HANDLE IS ON THE INSIDE...WE HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR!)

THERE'S A VERSE IN THE SONG, THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC, THAT SAYS,"THE ONENESS OF THE PATTERN IN THE MIND OF MEN IS ODD." JESUS SAID THERE IS ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD & FATHER OF US ALL....PRAYING WE HAVE ALL OBEYED HIS NON-GRIEVOUS COMMANDS, BEEN RE-BORN...AND ARE LOOKING FOR HIS SECOND COMING.

ONLY YOU, O GOD, LOVED US ENOUGH TO OFFER UP YOUR SON, AS THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD, WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH, TO MAKE A WAY FOR US TO GO TO HEAVEN....SOME SWEET DAY! ALL GLORY TO YOU AND HIM, IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY, AMEN
