Dec. 19th - Red - Matthew 2:28
"for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins."
"and
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin
and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed." 1 Peter
2:24
When I think of the color red
especially at Christmas, it causes me to remember the "red" of our
verse for today - Jesus' blood of the covenant. God's promise to provide
a Savior was sealed by the blood of His Son. It was poured out for many -
to all who will believe, receive. It is for the forgiveness, the complete
washing away of sins.
RED
is for LOVE...God's love! -
"Greater
love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his
friends." John
15:13
Earlier in this chapter - Matthew 26 - Jesus is
telling His disciples about His upcoming death and as they now are sitting down
to this "Last Supper," He is telling them to remember.
When we see the color red this
Christmas season may it too remind us to remember - to remember His blood and
His sacrifice, to remember the hope that can only be found in Him, to remember
this world is not our home, to remember all the blessings of God, to remember
His goodness and mercy, to remember His grace and love, to remember...
And like the reflection in this
glass ornament, may we be a reflection of His love to those around us.
Satan would want us to fall into the trap of business and stress and
forget. Christmas is all about remembering though and sharing Jesus with
those around us looking for hope and meaning in life!
So...."red" - A
Christmas devotion to Remember & Reflect.
