These days it seems that most people are looking for the easy answer or the one thing that could fix all their problems. They are looking for that one pill or supplement that will take care of health issues. They are looking for the latest fitness routine that will get them in tip-top shape. They are looking for that one investment or career that will bring financial comfort and freedom. They are looking for that job or relationship that will bring lasting joy and satisfaction.
The great news is that during the Christmas season and all throughout the year, for those of us who are children of God, we can rest assured that God will accomplish His will in and through us and meet our every need.
As you read through the Matthew and Luke accounts of Jesus coming to earth, I want to remind you of a few key phrases that can have a profound present and future impact on our lives:
“…and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21
“…and they shall call His name “Immanuel”, which translated means, “God with us.”
Matthew 1:23
“…and He will reign over the house of Jacob, and His Kingdom will have no end.”
Luke 1:33
As we celebrate this Christmas season, it should give us great peace and confidence in the fact that the Kingdom of God is a current reality and a future certainty. It is the salvation that comes from Christ, His presence and reign in our lives, and the promise that His kingdom will never end, that must be at the heart of our lives and the education of young people. These are the truths that motivate us at Kingdom Education Ministries to continue to encourage and train up the home, church, and school.
In Matthew 6:10, Jesus instructed his disciples in how they were to pray. He said this:
Pray, then, in this way: Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done…”
Because Jesus humbled Himself and came to earth 2,000 years ago, we know that God’s Kingdom is here, His Kingdom will never end, and He will accomplish His will in our lives.
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”
