PJP2 “7 PRAISES” - 161208 - CHILD CHILD: Christ's HOPE/HEART Is Living (in us) Daily Indeed what would our Lord Jesus' First Advent be without The CHRIST CHILD? Well, for certain, CHRISTmas wouldn't be CHRISTmas if our Lord Jesus CHRIST had not come to us via His Birth via His mother, The Virgin Mary. A vast amount of our current CHRISTmas Celebration would have no purpose, and most likely wouldn't have ever seen the light of day without our Lord Jesus CHRIST's entrance into our world. However, the PJP2 161208 Prelude Point I Hear The Holy Spirit Leading me to, in today's entry is that this CHILD was indeed A Revelation of God's Promise, as He Shared via His Prophet Isaiah.... Isaiah 7:14 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Therefore The Lord Himself Will Give you A Sign. BEHOLD, the virgin Shall Conceive And Bear A SON, And Shall Call HIS NAME Immanuel ("God Is With us").".... Oh how we, mankind, were caught totally off-guard by God The Father's Plan of Salvation Resting Fully on His Cornerstone, our Lord Jesus CHRIST coming to us in the form of a newborn CHILD. And our Lord Jesus had a Special Spot in His HEART for the CHILD.... Mark 10:13-16 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."And they were bringing CHILDren to Him That He Might Touch THEM, And the disciples rebuked them. BUT When Jesus Saw it, He Was Indignant And Said to them, 'Let The CHILDren Come To Me; Do NOT hinder THEM, For To SUCH Belongs The Kingdom Of God. Truly, I Say to you, whoever Does Not Receive The Kingdom Of God Like A CHILD Shall NOT Enter IT.' And He Took THEM In His Arms And Blessed THEM, Laying His Hands On THEM.".... Thus, from God The Father's Gift of His Son, The CHRIST CHILD, to Jesus' Blessing of the CHILD....Let us Learn, I would Pray for us, that Christ's HOPE/HEART Is Living (in us) Daily IF we will TRUST, BELIEVE and RECEIVE Him as His CHILD of HOPE with His HEART of Grace.....Lord, we Lift Up This Prayer in Your Name...Amen and Amen....jaj
