Confess or Deny?

Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven. Matthew 10:32-33  

Confess—tell. Deny—refuse to tell. Confess—Deny.  Pretty straightforward. It is either one or the other when explaining about something…or someone. If we stand up for Jesus and tell others about Him—He will do the same for us. Conversely, if we deny Jesus—He won’t stand up for us in the ultimate judgment. This is the perfect time of the year to be prepared to witness for Jesus. There will be opportunities at every store checkout—at every restaurant—at every Christmas party—for you to tell someone who Jesus is or what He has done in your life. Ask Him to show you those opportunities—and be ready to confess—not deny.  

RSVP: Jesus is inviting you to tell others who He is and what He has done for you. How will you respond to Him today? 

Prayer ~ Thank You Jesus for being willing to come to earth—to be our Savior. O come let us adore You. 

Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

What does your family have for Christmas Eve Supper? Over the years we’ve tried Chinese, Czech, a full turkey dinner, tacos, soup and sandwiches, fried chicken, breakfast for supper…whatever. The best supper is one that is done ahead of time…like this Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas. Think about preparing this dish ahead of time for your family on Christmas Eve. Mine enjoys it…and it is easy to do so that we can spend time together…not slaving away in the kitchen.  Enjoy and then head for your favorite church for a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service.
