“Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations.
Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn. “ ‘But you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.
I am concerned for you and will look on you with favor; you will be plowed and sown, and I will cause many people to live on you—yes, all of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous.
I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the Lord. I will cause people, my people Israel, to live on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance; you will never again deprive them of their children. “ ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
Because some say to you, “You devour people and deprive your nation of its children,” therefore you will no longer devour people or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign Lord.
No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall,
declares the Sovereign Lord.’ ””

‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36‬:‭6‬-‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

No matter how many times I read this, I just cannot do it without getting chills all over me! 😲 I bet you didn’t know the following about the manger that Jesus was laid in. Of course mangers are animal feeding troughs but in ancient Israel they were made of stone - not what you would see in a modern day nativity scene. Not comfortable, but great for protection. That’s why those who were experts in this matter, the priests, would put their newborn lambs in them for protection. But not just any lamb, the unblemished perfect lambs that were used in the sacrifice for sins. And Bethlehem, where Jesus was born was FAMOUS for their UNBLEMISHED LAMBS used for the sacrifice. These lambs had to be perfect so they would wrap them tightly in cloth and lie them in the manger to keep them safe. This is exactly why the only time mangers are mentioned in Jesus’ birth story it is being told to shepherds. In Luke 2 it says “This will be a sign for you, you will find a baby wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger.” The shepherds would have understood this powerful parallel! THEY KNEW what the cloth and the manger meant! This baby would be THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD! The Messiah who would sacrifice His life for the sins of the whole world. He wasn’t just a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger, He was GOD: perfect, sinless and Holy, humbling Himself to become the perfect sacrifice to reconcile us back to Himself!! THAT my friend, that Perfect Lamb, is WHY we celebrate Christmas!! ❤️ ✝️

“Word for the day… ABIDE.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down;
for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying,
That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭5‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

GN thoughts.

Morality by definition is determined by the society or group assigning or deeming a thing moral.
If a group says it is immoral, it is only immoral to that group.
Morals can overlap or come intertwined between groups but it is still ultimately determined by the groups collective opinion.

Christian morality is supposed to be defined by the whole characteristics of God as seen in Biblical entirety.
However different groups still pick and choose what they want to be moral.

Ultimately morality is an individual decision between ones self & their Creator.

If we deny an existence of a Creator then we are limiting your morality to what we feel as an individual.
Everyone has lines they are willing to cross or not cross.
We must decide the distance we are willing go to cross those lines.

If that line was measured by how far or close to our creator we would all fail in the Ultimate Truth of Morality.

Christianity (not religion) but Jesus’ teachings erases that line and the willingness or desire to draw it again.

Jesus said if we love Him with everything, and others as ourselves then there will not be any need for a line. (Paraphrased version)

If we Love Him,
morality will be a given, not a contemplation.

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only,
but also for the sins of the whole world.
And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬
