Unwrapping Christmasal

   Heb.10:19-20(Amp) says, "Therefore, Brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the Holy of Holies (by the power and virtue) in the Blood of Jesus. By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies) that is, through His flesh."

  For centuries, we've brought out the Baby Jesus and put Him in the manger. We've put up all our holiday decorations with the lights and wrapped the presents. We've done all this, without truly unwrapping God's Gift of flesh, He sent to us. Inside His Gift of the Baby, was God Himself with all His Promises, for all His people.

  We praise God for this Precious Gift everyday, because His Gift is Eternal. Through this Precious Gift, we have access to the Very Presence of the Father Himself whenever we need it. We can  now "Come bodily to God's Throne of Grace," through the Door Christ Jesus Himself, according to Heb.4:13.  Jesus' Flesh, the Veil that once covered the Holy of Holies, was torn open on the day of His crucifixion, making and opening Jesus the Door to God.

  2Cor.1:20(Amp) says, "For as many as are the Promises of God, they all find their Yes (answer) in Him (Christ). For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him (in His Person and by His Agency) to the Glory of God." Every Promise God made to and for His children when He created them,ha have all found their Yes Answer. 

  We've had little understanding that Jesus Himself was all of these things to and for us. All of the healing, peace, redemption, Blessing, son-ship rights, place in the Kingdom, long life, joy and so much more, were all wrapped in the Flesh of this little Baby Boy, Jesus. We've admired the Gift, but we've never unwrapped it. Paul wrote to the Church in Gal.1:7(Amp) saying, "I am surprised and astonished that you are so quickly turning renegade and deserting Him Who invited and called you by the (unmerited favor) of Christ (the Messiah) (and that you are transferring your allegiance) to a different (even an opposition) gospel." Paul asked them, "What happened to you? You began in the Spirit, but now you want to be made perfect in the flesh?" Paul told them that they returned to the things of the Law and rituals like, "taste not, touch and eat not." He told them "Jesus set us free from all these things, but through your traditions, you've made God's Word of no avail."

  Yes, healing is still for today and for all who will believe. Yes, tongues are still for all today. Yes, all these Promises are "Yes and Amen," through Jesus Christ to the Glory of God the Father. These things didn't "pass away," like others tell us. All of these are still wrapped up in the Gift, given by God, the Gift of this Christ Child. He's not in the manger, but now sits on the Right Hand of the Father. We, the Church, are seated there together with Him. Eph.2:6(Amp) says that "We, the Church, are seated there together with Him. And He raised us up together (giving us joint seating with Him) in the Heavenly sphere (by virtue of our being) in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One)."

  Even though these things are now ours, we will never know them unless we dare to unwrap the Awesome Gift of God, Who is the Baby Born to and for us. He is the Answer to all the Promises of God. We will have tribulation, so long as we're in this world, but be of good cheer, because Jesus in you has overcome all these things and He is the Answer to anything and everything satan and the world can throw at you. Let's take off the swaddling clothes, because He is now dressed in Glory and has given it to us. In John17:22(Amp) we find Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, saying, "I have given to them the Glory and Honor which You have given Me, that they may become one (even) as We are One."

  Have a Merry and Blessed Christmas this year!!!
