The Trinity of Family at Christmas
1John 5:7 ” For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. “
The Trinity is not only ONE but agree as one. There is a unity in the Godhead. We who are created in His image and especially in the body of Christ, aught to bear “record” as a witness of our love for one another in the same spirit of unity. Family time at Christmas can either be a blessing or bring back unpleasant memories. But Christmas is a time to enjoy those blessings we have and more importantly that it is because of Christ birth that we can be grateful to now be a part of the family Tree of Gods children through Jesus Christ’s birth, death, burial and resurrection.
Genealogy has always fascinated me and I have done some work on discovering new family members and going over the hand written notes left behind by grandparents and older cousins. Christ’s genealogy is remarkable and I urge you to read Matthew chapter 1 and Luke chapter 23 and then think on these things, think on the trinity of family at Christmas.
Recall your family history and all that is good about that, even forgiving things that were or are not good. Reach Out to Restore if its within your power.
Reflect on your natural birth that you are not a mistake nor is your life meaningless. Remember to thank those from childhood up to now for their role in helping you.
Rekindle your spiritual birth and how incredible the wonders of God’s awesome grace to you is through the birth of His Son. Remind yourself of these blessings, that your name is written down in the book of life, there is a “record” of it ! Think on “the Trinity of Family At Christmas”.
