RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY WEDNESDAY 25TH DECEMBER 2024.
For some people, Christmas is all about food and family. So, on Christmas day, they make sure to get around family, eat, feast and be merry. But beyond the merry-making, Christmas is about Christ: who He is, what He came to do, and the fact that He actually accomplished His purpose. Had He not accomplished His purpose, life would have been empty.
He came, lived, died, and came back to life that you might live. He said in John 10:10 (AMPC), “…I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” 1 John 3:8 says, “…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” This same Jesus is coming again, and it’s time to serve Him truly; it’s time to know Him for sure.
Titus 2:13 tells us something beautiful about who He is—He’s the great God and our Saviour: “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Did you see that? Jesus is God. When He was born among us, He was called “Emmanuel,” God with us.
In Colossians 1:19, the Bible says, the fullness of Deity resides in Him. The totality of divinity dwells in Jesus Christ: “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). Jesus Christ is the body of God; everything that God is, is in Jesus.
But here’s the most inspiring part: this Jesus, the great God and our Saviour, isn’t just with you today but in you. That’s what we read in our opening scripture: Christ in you the hope of glory. This is the actual meaning of Christmas. Christmas is the celebration of Christ in you. You haven’t known what Christmas is and how to celebrate Christmas until you have the understanding that Christ literally dwells in the quarters of your heart.
The real celebration begins when you arrive at God’s revelation for Christmas, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. This was God’s plan from the beginning; this was what He always wanted—that we be filled or replete with all the fullness of God, just as Jesus was.
CONFESSION
I rejoice in the divine truth that Jesus is the great God and our Saviour who has extricated humanity from death, hell and shame and brought life and immortality to light. I celebrate my oneness with Christ and His divine life in me, which means victory, strength, triumph, glory and dominion over sin, and the powers of darkness. Amen.
