Come and Behold Him
The Christmas Nativity is among the most beloved and prominent visuals in religious culture, and whether it’s a grand production on the theater stage or a makeshift drama in a tiny country church, the scene is relatively the same.

“Trials will confront your theology and expose your weaknesses and limitations more than you ever thought that they would - but the trials will not consume you.”

“Being a follower of Jesus Christ does not make us exempt from ashes. Being a child of God does not spare you from the heaviness of a cross. Scripture is filled with accounts and examples of God taking His cherished children and boiling all the refuse, and chaff, and sin from their hearts.

“There is, in fact, no redemptive work done anywhere without suffering.”

“The deepest things that I have learned in my own life have come from the deepest suffering. And out of the deepest waters and the hottest fires have come the deepest things that I know about God.”

“If your faith rests in your idea of how God is supposed to answer your prayers, your idea of heaven here on earth or pie in the sky or whatever, then that kind of faith is very shaky and is bound to be demolished when the storms of life hit it. But if your faith rests on the character of Him who is the eternal I AM, then that kind of faith is rugged and will endure.”
