Perspective In Him: A Holiday Devotional Series
"The Message”
Now, platforms are all the rage. Whether it's a social media influencer, politician, or professional athlete, they are all vying to garner our attention with messages that cover an array of topics. Without a doubt, many of their messages may have been beneficial to our well-being and existence, and others may have provided a wealth of information to help us make informed personal decisions. Although this may be true, we must admit that their message(s) aren’t consistent, may be exclusive in nature, and are plagued with ulterior motives.
However, there is a platform that was established at the beginning of time in which we can trust with a message that has consistently remained the same and it is fully inclusive. More importantly, this message is rooted and grounded in love.
It is the message of Jesus Christ, and how the Father so loved each of us that He sent His only begotten son to this earth. Isn’t it so wonderful to know that despite our human frailties, the Father so desires to be connected to us and offered an extension of His love through the birth of His son Jesus? In fact, Luke 4:18 says, he was sent to proclaim the good news, proclaim freedom, and to relieve oppression!
He sent Jesus with only one proposition, and that is for us to believe in Him. To believe in Him simply means that we trust Him and in His word. When we do, we are guaranteed His continual presence, peace, and protection.
As believers we must understand, regardless to how prevalent other messages may be, there is only one message that will remain relevant. It is the message of Jesus Christ. He is the good news and a message that will never disappoint, love in spite of, and will always forgive. More importantly, it is a message that was established on a platform, God’s word, which is the truth and when all things fade away it will still stand!
