Claiming the Promise

“Where is the Promised One, the One who will save and heal?” Each day this question continues to be asked by those seeking a new way of life. Some have journeyed a long time, looking for Christ in many places but not finding him. They have never been shown Christ by one of his followers. They need the healing and hope and the peace of God.

God wants to live in and through us. In Matthew we are told that we are the light of the world. When we claim the name of Jesus in its fullness, we can offer a hope to the seekers we meet that will bring a healing and peace that only God can give. In this time of Advent, we sense that we are the children of the promise and reach out to others in a very intentional way. However, will this commitment to others continue into the new year?
