Jeremiah 31:12 They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord,
over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
their life shall become like a watered garden,
and they shall never languish again.
In this season of Christmas we continue to celebrate. Even as vacations come to an end, children return to school, and parents return to work, the celebration of Christmas and what it means continues. We celebrate that the God of the universe has taken on human flesh to walk among us. We celebrate that Jesus has come into our world. We celebrate that Messiah has come!
And so we gather. We gather to sing aloud as Jeremiah prophesied. We gather to give thanks to God for all the gifts that we have received - and all the gifts that God continues to promise. Because there are yet more gifts to come, Jeremiah promises. There will come a time when our lives will be as lush and full as a watered garden and want will be no more. Thanks be to God for sustaining promises!
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
