The promise of Christmas is an example of God's faithfulness.
3 The Good News is about His Son. In His earthly life He was born into King David's family line, 4 and He was shown to be the Son of God when He was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
We have all made a promise that we knew when we made it that we wouldn't even try to keep it sometimes we have our fingers crossed when we say it as if that is a mute button that gets rid of the promise. Our promises and our decision to keep them tell a little bit about who we are. One of the ways that we can learn more about God is to study his promises made and his record for keeping his promises.
Paul said in the book of Romans that he was sent out with the good news that God had promised long ago. God fulfilled hundreds of promises when Jesus came into our world. If you take the time to study God's record for keeping promises you will find that you should be able to believe that he is actively involved with our world and that he cares for you.
Since God kept his promise to send his son the first time we should be expecting him to send him back to us. And if he is coming back then you should be concerned about your relationship with him when he returns.
Christmas at its best is a glimpse of something that is still on the way. The beautiful decorations, the angelic music and the tastiest food give us great pleasure but it is nothing compared to what is on the way for God's children.John 14:3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
Every child of god should be anxious for the promise that some day we will live forever with our Savior and we will know perfect love, peace and joy that will never end.
