Just Like I Told You

Those on the outside can’t know this of course, but everything that we are told about Jesus, in the Gospels is true. When you read it, when you live it, when you see it for what it is, spontaneous praise is the natural reaction.

We in the 21^st century are not the first to notice this.

Look at Luke 2:20. “And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, Just As It Was Told To Them.”

What the angels had told them was happening in Bethlehem, turned out to be happening just as they had been told. Now, I’ve never seen an angel and I imagine that neither had the shepherds. Was it a dream? A group hallucination? As it turns out, the confirmation of events showed them it was neither. It was the truth. And they praised God.

Have you found your reaction to be the same? The Bible says, “Here is what life is like, here is what people are like, here is what you are like,” and life proves it to be true.

That's one of the reasons that I became a Christian; because Christianity and the Bible provided the best explanation of what we see in humanity, in history, in relationships, in the universe itself.

When Jesus says, “Come to Me and I’ll give you rest,” we come to Him and we find rest. His promised peace and joy are now present in your life.

Perfect love drives out fear and fear is gone.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
