Are you still recovering from your
Thanksgiving weekend?  Perhaps you cooked
up a feast or entertained house guests. 
Perhaps you fought traffic or things weren’t what you hoped for.  Maybe Thanksgiving is already a distant
memory because you dove head first in to Christmas?  Even if yours was an idyllic, Norman Rockwell
holiday, your tank probably needs filling in this first week of Advent.  Let’s step back and gain some
perspective.  Let’s fill ‘er up.

 

So… 
What is the message about Christ? 
What is its richness?

 

Don’t skim over these two questions
and quickly read ahead to get the answer. 
Form your own response.  You must
know the message personally before it can fill you.

 

What is it about Jesus?

 

For me, the richness of the message
lies in all the different ways He touches us. 
Does Christ’s humanity and vulnerability bring you comfort – knowing
that He physically experienced the same joys and hardships of life?  Is the message His love?  Are you moved that He knows your name and
cares about your heart?  Or that He knows
your heart and accepts you anyway?  Is
the message found in His suffering or the victory of His resurrection?  Perhaps you most appreciate His sweeping
forgiveness or the hope you find in His promises.
