On This Christmas season I wanted to reflect for a moment on the opposite end of Jesus earthly life. Christmas is a day arbitrarily chosen as a day to celebrate His birth, but why was He born. He came to be the sacrifice that would take away both the power and guilt of our sins.It is through His blood that we have the victory over Satan.
I have embedded below a video of the song We are the Reason. The song was originally written by David Meece and redone by Avalon. The video below shows clips of scenes from the Passion of the Jesus Christ played to the Avalon version of the song.
When you view the video below think about this. If God loves us enough to send His Son to suffer so brutally then He will not withhold any good thing from us. Allow this video to strenghthen your faith and love for the Lord. As for me He is worthy of my all. If my association with and witness for Christ results in the loss of freedom, possessions or even my life then He is worthy of such sacrifice. Many now suffer for Him and soon in America Christian will suffer as the result of dramatic changes soon to unfold.

Commentary on John 15
July 2, 2008 - 29 Sivan, 5768We have been having an excellent discussion this month about love In John chapter 15 We are to abide in Christ and particularly His love. We discussed several aspects of abiding in His Love.
To abide in Christ is to abide in love. We are told that Christ loves us with the same love that God loves Christ. What an awesome promise. God loves us with the same infinite love He loves Christ. This means that he wants to bless us with everything He has. A good way to explain the way God loves us is like a man who is in love with a woman. Just as that man wants to give her everything he is and everything he has God does with us. Relationship is the key to all of this. Just as the woman has access to everything that the man owns by being in relationship to him so we have access to everything God has by being in relationship to Christ-by abiding in him.
