Here’s the gist, human. Jesus is enough. He lived all the life we need to give ours. In the middle of this season make him enough. Settle in to why he came, how he walked, and what he did that is the only gift any human needs. Read through the gospel of Matthew to prepare your heart for this giving season. I am asking us to do this because this is the season that always wants more of everything. It beckons us to buy one more gift, bake one more batch, complete one more project, more wanting, needing, stressing, all kinds of things that shortchange us from loving others with spiritual gifts money cannot buy, deeds cannot complete, and human nature cannot redeem. Let’s give what has been given to us. And I just might have a little something for you, an inspirational guide, The Perfect Gift to Give for Christmas, to take your spiritual gift-giving to next level living in Christ.

E166. Thanks for listening.

Matthew 5:14-16

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Here’s the gist, human. I prompted us to make a list of Red Sea moments when the water walls were held up by God. Let’s consider Moses, God and the Red Sea first. The epic exodus. And the Red Sea process we can expect when God fights for us to gain his glory. These moments, experiences, seasons are such an honor, human. An honor to be able to see the water walls as we walk, to see what God is containing, the horses, the chariots behind us being submerged by his hand.

I have two Red Sea affirmations.

Affirmation #1: When I am confused, and I want to turn back; when I am terrified, doubtful, confused, frustrated, I continue to walk through his parted waters.

Affirmation #2: Whatever he delivers me to, makes me stay in, pulls me out of; however I depend on him, how I call for him, how I rest in him, will be for one purpose—that he gain glory for himself in the eyes of believers and nonbelievers.

E165. Thanks for listening.

Exodus 14:21

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.

Here’s the gist, human. When I am blind to my intent, Jesus helps me see my motivation through his eyes. When I am paralyzed by a problem, he moves me to my next step. When I accumulate earthly scabs from being “in the world” he purifies my inner skin. When I turn away from his voice, he whooshes divinity deep into my ear. When I am thrown down by my human nature, he raises my spirit. Blind, lame, infected, deaf, and dead. That’s me. But God gave me the gift of reconciliation through his Son. And now, I (and all believers) have this gift we can tell others about. It starts with our gratitude that we can see, walk, heal, hear and live eternally. We can do what Jesus tells us to do, “report to others what we hear and see” our Savior doing in our lives.

Why? So another human can be reconciled to God. E164. Thanks for listening.

Matthew 11:4-6

4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
