Christmas Party

Trecia and I are sorry we missed the Christmas Party this year. We always enjoy it. However; I have a great gift saved from last year. If anyone wants it let me know.

Fix Your Eyes on Jesus

As I said in a previous post, I have been especially struck by the commands the writer of Hebrews gives us. This is not the focus of the lesson series, but these commands would make a good series of their own. The first was in Hebrews 2:1.

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

The second, from Hebrews 3:1, seems to tell us how to do that.

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

In chapter 1 we are told that Jesus was superior to angels. Then the command was given to pay more careful attention to the message so that we will not drift away. In chapter 2 we are told that Jesus, who was already shown to be superior to angels, was made lower than the angels to be like us. He was made like his brothers he is therefore better able to help us in our times of need. So Jesus is so important, that as we think of the message we have heard, and pay more careful attention to it, the most important part of that is to fix our thoughts on Jesus.

Good words for this season.

The Christmas party is scheduled for Dec 12th. A sign up sheet will be going around Sunday for food to bring. Marion is cooking the meat (turkeys I believe). Everyone else will sign up for side dishes that they are bringing.
