HYMN FOR TODAY: "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"
A new family moved into the community just down the road from a church. After receiving a flyer, the children attented Vacation Bible School. During the week, Mrs. Adams, the VBS director sent a note home inviting the parents to the closing program. At the program, she and the children's teachers met the parents and gave them a special invitation to come to Sunday school and Sunday worship. Later, the Sunday school superintendent called, the church secretary to Debra bulletin, and a deacon stopped by on his way home from prayer meeting.However, it wasn't until Bob, Pastor Robinson's and the Minister of Education, along with the Pastor, made an appointment and visited them, that the family came to church.
In the Bible, how did God communicate with His people? He spoke through the beauty of creation. Adam and Eve heard the voice of the Lord. He sent His message through certain people called "prophets." Lastly, he expressed Himself through His Son, Jesus, the One who was with Him from the beginning of time and His partner in creation. In Jesus, people could see the characteristics, mercy, and love of God. What is God saying to you today?
PRAYER THOUGHT: Dear Lord, thank You for the many ways you've spoken to people down through the ages. Most of all, thank You for making Yourself known to us through Your Son Jesus. His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary speaks si clearly of Your great mercy and love. Amen.
