The Glories of
Christ
December 18th
Is there a promise to claim or a lesson to learn? Is there a blessing to enjoy, a command to obey? Is there a sin to avoid or a new thought to carry with me?

John 17:20-26 | Jeremiah 23:3-4
O glorious wonder of the night –
Prayers of my Lord Savior on His throne.
He tenderly cares for His own,
Holds them securely in His hand tight.
Creation also tells of His power and might.
O glorious wonder of the sight!
Yes, the One who spoke, and it was done,
He is my Lord Savior, God’s Only Son.
Love began before time was born.
God’s Son was birthed on that first Christmas morn.
He came to ransom me from sin’s fall.
Christ Jesus, the God-Man was born in a manger stall.
Truth was spoken to all He warned.
He desires that man trust Him and be reborn.
His Word is true, His Love is pure,
His faithfulness and peace will eternity endure.
I bow.

And he answered, No. 22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

Jeremiah 23:3-4
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord.
