Remember Christ
Jesus knew beforehand how the will of His Father would play out in His life on earth and in spite of it, He still chose to make that sacrifice to come to earth and be our Saviour and this is something that persons must remember as they get ready to celebrate His birth once again.
This was one of the message Pastor Jamal Medas of The People’s Cathedral (TPC) gave to the congregation as he delivered the message to mark Christmas Eve yesterday at TPC.
He asked the church to imagine, “Yet knowing all of this, the Father still sent His Son and the Son still agreed to come. Believers, I want you to begin to imagine what was happening in heaven on Christmas Eve – the day before the King of Glory was sent to earth. Imagine the Father having a discussion with His Son and He is saying unto Him, ‘Son I want you to understand that you are born as the Son, but in few hours I would send you to earth. You would not make a grand entry… you would not be born in a royal palace, you would not be born into a royal family, but I am sending you to a family that is not well known… I want you to understand that when you grow up in a small city, you would have an ordinary life… you would take 30 years preparing for three years of ministry.”
Medas stated that Jesus also knew what He will endure, but He chose to do it anyway because He was being obedient to His Father.
“I want you to understand Son that they will embarrass you, they will laugh at you, they will torment you, they will drag Your good name, You will find yourself find Yourself in the garden of Gethsemane and in that place, Your human tears would be so severe that there would be drips of blood… You have to carry Your own cross. It would be heavy. You will be beaten to a place whereby You would be unrecognisable, but Son, I am still going to send You. It is not going to be easy, it is going to be very trying, it is going to be very hard, but I want You to understand that from the moment that I release You, from the moment that You enter earth, it will be a holy disturbance. From the moment that You are released, it would be a spiritual invasion, when you find Yourself on earth, it would be heaven touching earth.”
