The Lion The Lamb and the Teacher

The begotten son of the father
Prince of kings of the Earth
The holy One of Israel
Immaculately concepted at birth

The one who died for sinners
As a sacrificial lamb
Preacher and teacher incarnation of God
Yes… You are The Great I Am

You led the crowds with parables
To teach of the holy way
What a wonderful counselor indeed
A price we could never repay

A true miracle worker
And the maker of all ways
Bringer of dead back to life
Son of The God who stays

The one who’s roar is much mightier
Than Satan’s mocking snare
The valiant defender of his church
The lion of Judah is here

The one who wins every battle
The debts that you have paid
And where that stone rolled away
An empty tomb where you once laid

The merciful and forgiving one
As it was finished upon the cross
Freeing us of spiritual death
At no greater a cost

Hallelujah!!! Hosanna!!!
Glory be and Amen
You are the Christ Jesus
To come from the clouds again

Where Joseph Stood

On the night when Jesus was born, I wonder if Joseph prayed, “Father, this all seems so bizarre. The angel you sent? Any chance you could send another?”

You’ve stood where Joseph stood. Each of us knows what it’s like to search the night for a light. Not outside a stable, but perhaps outside an emergency room or the manicured grass of a cemetery. We’ve asked our questions. We’ve wondered why God does what he does. If you’re asking what Joseph asked, let me urge you to do what Joseph did: obey. He didn’t let his confusion disrupt his obedience.

What about you? You have a choice: to obey or disobey. Because Joseph obeyed, God used him to change the world. Can he do the same with you? Will you be that kind of person? Will you serve, even when you don’t understand?

Out on a Limb

”After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 1:18 NKJV).

Joseph was perched firmly on his branch in the tree. Predictable and solid, Joseph had no intention of leaving it. That is, until he was told to go out on a limb. “Conceived by the Holy Spirit? Come on! Who will believe me?” Pride told him not to do it, but God told him to do it.

Have you been called to got out a limb for God? I have a feeling you can relate to Joseph. One foot in your will and one foot in his. His or yours? Disrupting, isn’t it? You can bet it won’t be easy. Limb-climbing has never been. Ask Joseph. Or better yet, ask Jesus! He knows better than anyone the cost of hanging on a tree.
