On this great celebration of Christmas, we recall Jesus being constricted for love of us:
Why did Jesus submit to these constrictions for our sake? "God is love" (1 Jn 4:16), and love endures all things (1 Cor 13:7).
| PRAYER: | Thank You, Jesus, for taking on the constrictions of our humanity so You could set us free in the power of Your resurrection! I join my human life to Yours. I put my life in Your hands. |
| PROMISE: | "Any who did accept [Jesus] He empowered to become children of God." –Jn 1:12 |
| PRAISE: | "For a Child is born to us, a Son is given us; upon His shoulder dominion rests" (Is 9:5). "With the Lord is kindness and with Him is plenteous redemption" (Ps 130:7). |
