Words of Encouragement
December - 12 - 2004
What is the greatest construction project built by human hands? Jesus is greater still! What is the most "holy" place you have been? Jesus is far holier still! What is the most awe-inspiring site you have visited? Jesus is far more awesome and holy! What is the most inspiring event you have ever attended? Jesus is far more... Jesus is the One Who Is Greater! Nothing else, no one else, can hold a candle to him. As John the Baptist reminded us, the greatest religious leaders of all time are not even worthy to stoop down and loose his sandal strap.
Let us read Matthew 12:6.
"Yet I say to you that in this place there is One greater than the temple."
Let us pray.
Thank you, God for revealing to us the Way, the Truth, and the Life through Jesus. Forgive us for the times we may have misused your name or underestimated your glory. Restore in us the childlike sense of joyous wonder that we need to have in your presence.
In the holy name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
