December 5, 2007

Good Morning and Merry Christmas to you! Are you past the point of no return? We often think of the point of no return as that utter and final rejection of the Lord Jesus. However, there is also the point of no return in the other direction, believing in and surrendering to Christ. Jesus told His Father that He had not lost even one of those given to Him. I believe that means that everyone who makes that setting aside of the self and accepting of Jesus as Lord has also passed a point of no return. Jesus will not let us go, not one, not any of us. That is one aspect of resting in the Lord; there are no longer any worries about becoming lost again. Should we feel lost, the Good Shepherd will find us, and remember that is one of Christ's titles for himself, not something anyone made up for him. Put it in capital letters and sing praises to His holy name, Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and a good shepherd does not lose his sheep, no matter how those sheep may feel at any given moment.

Praise God and sing a happy Christmas tune!
