Seeing Jesus Clearly in 2023

RESOLVE TO SEE HIM EVEN JUST A BIT BETTER EVERY DAY

For the Christian, the new year is a series of opportunities, month by month, day by day, moment by moment to behold Christ. 365 days filled with every providential detail the Lord has designed to set our sights on his Son. Returning to Mark’s Gospel this past Sunday, we came to the section right before the main hinge of the story - Peter's confession of Jesus as the Christ (Mk 8:27-9:1) - and encountered 3 stories about spiritual sight. Through them, we’re warned about the blinding effects of unbelief and encouraged by Christ’s eagerness to open our eyes to all he is. We see now "in a mirror dimly" (1 Cor 13:12) yet await that great day when we'll see Jesus "face to face," just "as he is" (1 Jn 3:2). Until then, in every year in between, especially this new year of 2023, our prayer is that the Lord would help us to see Jesus more clearly.

Christmas Sunday 2022

AFTER WEEKS OF ANTICIPATION, WE ARRIVE AT THE BIRTH STORY OF JESUS CHRIST

All Advent season we’ve been learning that Christ was born for us. And born to bring us incredible blessings at that. But on Christmas Sunday, we learned from Luke 2, that above all else, Christ was born for us to be glorified by us. His worship is worth our every moment. His glory is the foundation, fuel, and goal of all of our Christmas joy.
