“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
“Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise the words of the prophets, but test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from every form of evil.
“May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24, NRSV.)
If we seek Jesus, who is born in the manger, shouldn’t we: …be at peace among ourselves?
…help the weak and the poor?
…not repay evil for evil, but always do good to one another?
…in all circumstances, give thanks?
In that posture we receive the Christ and proclaim His coming with Joy!
Join us as we proclaim together: COME, LORD JESUS. AMEN.
