First Day of Advent,
we begin with the Most Holy Trinity – the Father, and the Son, and the Holy
Spirit.
God is the Family.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let us
make humankind in our image,
according to our likeness;
Jesus reveals the Father. Their Names as revealed by Jesus indicate
Relationship – Father and Son
The Incarnation or
the Birth of Jesus is nothing but the plan of God. It’s the plan of God and so
to see the Birth of Jesus from God’s perspective and plan is essential to get
the depth of God’s love for us.
Romans 8:18-30
1
Corinthians 1:9
God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Future Glory
18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time
are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to
us. 19 For the creation waits
with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; 20 for
the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of
the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be
set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 We know
that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until
now; 23 and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of
the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of
our bodies. 24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen
is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25 But if we hope
for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we
do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs
too deep for words. 27 And God, who searches the heart, knows what is
the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according
to the will of God.
28 We know that all things work together for good for
those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. 29 For
those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,
in order that he might be the firstborn within a large family. 30 And
those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also
justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
We have been already made Children of God by God, the Father in His only Natural Son and through the Holy Spirit – Objective Salvation.
In the sight of God, we are already children of God, we
don’t experience it because we have not own this right given through the grace
of Christ.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the
communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.
Points for Reflection:
1. Do you want to receive God's plan for your life?
2. Do you know God's plan for YOU?
3. If God offers you the gift of becoming His child, are you willing to
receive it with gladness and live accordingly?
What are you still waiting for God has already made you so. Now it's your time to act!
