Did you remember this morning to take a few moments from your day to let yourself be captivated by the greatest Story ever told?
Long before the Story began, there was a promise of the Story.
Isaiah said we would call the Promise things like Wonderful, Counselor, Everlasting Father, Mighty God, Prince of Peace. The angel Gabriel told Mary that He would be called Jesus, the Son of the Highest.
I trust that most of you reading this have called Him Savior and Lord. And for me, He's been all of these things and so much more.
The Promise fulfilled has been my Peace in the middle of my most chaotic messes. He has been my Comfort when my world was turned upside down. He has been my Strength when I didn't think I could carry on. He has been my Best Friend when I was at my loneliest, most miserable point. He has been my Healer when my body and my spirit desperately needed healing. He has been my Provider when my bank account, my gas tank, my refrigerator, and my wallet were completely empty. He's been my Way-Maker when circumstances and situations made the way an impossible feat. Oh, He has been the Wonderful One. He has been the Great One. He has been the Beautiful One, the Awesome One...
I challenge you this morning to think about the Promise of the Story and how that Promise has been fulfilled in your life. Let yourself be captivated.
Who do you say that He is?
