A 2024 Christmas Meditation
WELCOME to Issue #224 of The Seedhead from Alex and Hannah at Dandelion Resourcing - a weekly confidence booster to help you step into naturally supernatural discipleship and mission!
Take time to pause, worship, and hear the voice of Jesus for you this Christmas
In the midst of all the activities and busyness, take a few minutes to recenter yourself on the Lord Jesus and His birth to Mary.
In particular, let’s consider how God is the ‘holy disrupter’ of our best-laid plans. He often seems to answer our prayers in a completely different way to how we’d expect Him to operate!
As we pause to reflect and refocus, we will discover afresh what it means to hear that He is ‘Emmanuel, God with us’.
Here’s the text that we’ll be using - you'll want to have it to hand during the video.
“This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph, her husband, was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means ‘God with us’).”
Matthew 1:18-23
