We will begin a series of
devotionals taken from John Lancaster’s book, Reflections: Looking at Timeless truths in a Changing World, on Sunday November 13.
The series up
to the Sunday before Christmas will focus on the stupendous events that began
in that stable 2000 years ago. The first devotional, Bethlehem’s “Door of
Destiny,” commences:
“It was probably rusty, maybe lacking
a screw or two, and almost certainly attached to third-grade, splintered wood.
But it was, in the words of American preacher Ralph Sockman, “the hinge of
history” on the door of a Bethlehem stable.
In contrast to the pomp and pageantry
of kings and presidents and the sleek, purring cavalcades of limousines
conveying world leaders to their summits—and, sadly, to the ostentation of many
of the Lord's 21st century “servants”—the entrance of the Son of God into the
world was markedly low-key.
. . . the Messiah slipped
unobtrusively from eternity into time.”
Join us here each Sunday.
God bless,
Bryan
