STAR TALK...kwentuhang YOU!
(c)December 2008/YOUTH RELOAD(just click the images for larger view)
-The birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!Mankind will no longer sorrow at the thought
of debt, punishment and eternal separation from God.
-There is One that will become the ultimate
sacrifice and finally appease the Father.
-Christmas is a great promise for each of us who believes!
-It's a remembrance of Christ's birth;
receiving presents should not define the beauty
of the season, it's not our birthday anyway!
(unless of course you're born during yuletide! ;)
The Almighty gave first.It's a loving response to give back...
Christmas is an opportunity to bring
the most extravagant offering to JESUS!
Gifting our loved ones & friends come second.
The season becomes meaningful when we are ableto get right with God and with people.
Short of that, it's an understatement.
Christmas is celebrating our liberationfrom the curse of death through Jesus Christ.
We extend this joy with F&F (friends & family!)
-It reminds us how great is God's love for usand Jesus' obedience (love) to His Father.
it's actually valentines, haha!
Among all the [legitimate] symbols of Christmas,we esteem the Star for being the very emblem
that led the wise men to Jesus.
Jesus is the Bright & Morning Star (the Sun)...
It's not enough to be amazed and stare (if you can!)at the Sun, we are to revolve around it
and be like it.
We are stars. (Abraham's promise from God Gen26:4)
(What do you call the stars that don't shine?) 2Peter1:19 - "...YOU MUST PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
TO WHAT THEY WROTE,
FOR THEIR (PROPHETS) WORDS ARE LIKE
A LAMP (STARS/NIV) SHINING IN A DARK PLACE--
UNTIL THE DAY DAWNS
AND CHRIST THE MORNING STAR
SHINES IN YOUR HEARTS."
We are to shine our light Day and Night!
Day = good times; days when we are
so on-fire for God; it's easy radiate God's Light;
NIGHT = tough times; seasons of trial & process...
but the call to shine still rings...
in fact, it's the best time for stars
to shine and be recognized!
We had lots of "day" times and "night" ones in 2008.
and there's more to see in 2009,
this time, we decide to enjoy each season
as stars shining bright in places
where God positioned us.
Expect blessings and await trials to conquer.
the "DAY dawns" in 2Pet1:19 talks about
Jesus' Second coming.
It doesn't scare us anymore but
it excites us of eternity with Him!
Saints (stars) or the faithful will be rewarded
(Rev 3:5)
Be reminded that... A)
Jesus purchased your star-ship (stardom!).
Many are stars but don't actually feel that they are...which causes them to fail the third step:
it's not about nice clothes or fame.Being a star is...
-believing in Jesus & cultivating a relationship with Him.
-becoming TODO in worship & service.
-being a leader and making a difference!
Hold your Faith. GET READY for the "awards night."It can be dawn, day, noon, afternoon...
We just don't know.
That's why we have to get ready.
Rewards await us!
*Eternity in Heaven...
*the Crown of Righteousness
and the prize of winning souls to Jesus...
The world needs a star a like you.
