To get a true idea of what God is really like, we need to look beneath the layers of the popular concepts about God, by looking to the God revealed in Jesus Christ. When we do that, a true and undistorted understanding of God emerges.

What
might be a self-portrait of Rembrandt has been discovered hidden under another one
of the Dutch master’s paintings. By using advanced scanning techniques, scientists
investigated a Rembrandt painting titled "Old Man with a Beard” and much
to their surprise, the scan revealed that another painting was underneath–one
that might well be an early, unfinished self-portrait of the artist himself. It
seems as if Rembrandt had begun a self-portrait, then later used the canvas to
paint the “Old Man with a Beard.”

The night Jesus was
arrested, one of the things he talked about with his disciples was the Holy
Spirit. He referred to the Holy Spirit with a word that was translated into
Greek as parakletos, a word that conveyed the sense of
"advocate," "friend" or "supporter." Parakletos
was the word used for a person who would stand beside you in court to support
you and your cause, to speak up for you, to hearten you.
Archaeologists
have unearthed ancient trash heaps containing hundreds of documents that were
written on papyrus–many written some 2000 years ago, dating back to the time of the New Testament.

When was the last time you received a letter in
the mail? In this day of e-mails, Twitter, and Facebook most of us don't
receive as many letters as we used to. But in the days before electronics,
nearly all of our communication with the people who didn't live near us was by
letter. It was, and still is a fairly easy process: some paper, something to
write with, an envelope and a stamp.

During Jesus’ ministry, he often upset the religious
establishment of the day by extending love to people considered “unlovable.” As
in all societies, during Jesus’ day, there was the “in” crowd and the outcasts.
The “in crowd,” as characterized by the Pharisees and
Sadducees, was a group, smug about their goodness and holiness. They could make
a great show of treating each other well, but made no time for the lower
elements of society.
Why is it that we humans, even those of us who profess to be Christians, seem to find the idea of simple grace so impossible to believe? The prevailing view among Christians today seems to be that when all is said and done, salvation depends on what we have done or not done.

God is so high you can't get over Him; So wide you can't
get around Him;
So low you can't get under Him.
Do you happen to remember this traditional Gospel song?
Little children enjoy singing along to it because they can act along
with the words. They sing “So high”…and stretch their hands high above their
heads; “So wide” … and they spread their arms wide; “So low”…as they crouch
down as low as they can.
The story of Christmas can remind us that whatever trials we might face, whatever our lot in life, Jesus is with us and right there beside us. God knows our plight and stands alongside us in undying love.

When the

Even though people around the world celebrate
Christmas on December 25, that was probably not the actual day on which Jesus
was born. Many scholars believe that Jesus was more likely to have been born in
September.
But the Christian celebration of Christmas is not
about getting the date right. No one really knows the actual date. The
celebration is about the fact that God loved humanity so much that he sent his
Son in the flesh as one of us for our salvation.
In Matthew 1:23, the child Jesus is called, “God
with us.”

What do you see when you
look in the mirror? The apostle Paul tells us that what we see in the mirror is
not what we really are – we see only a poor reflection of ourselves. But God,
on the other hand, sees us perfectly – and very differently from the way we see
ourselves.
In 1 Corinthians 13:12, Paul explains it in these words: “For now we see only a reflection as in a
mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,
even as I am fully known.”
We can share in the excitement of people seeing the truth of who God is and who they are in him. And as Jesus lives in us, we can give his encouragement, comfort and hope to others as we are able.

The
subject of mission and outreach has sometimes been a source of passionate
disagreement among Christian believers. Some Christians believe that they
should focus all mission efforts locally. Others believe mission should have
more of an international focus. Despite the disagreement, however, most would agree that mission
is all about joining Jesus in his work of sharing God’s love and life with
others.
Many people think they have to be good
enough to save. They think God doesn’t want them unless they can measure
up. But Jesus said otherwise. God wants us.

Two years ago, a lock of Elvis
Presley’s hair that had been preserved by a fan was sold at auction for fifteen
thousand dollars. And last year, someone paid more than $20,000 for a set of
Winston Churchill’s false teeth. And Emperor Napoleon’s toothbrush sold for
$21,000.
You and I are not so famous, and
no one would pay anything like that for something that belonged to us. But have
you ever asked yourself, “What exactly am I worth?”
