The gospels tell us that Peter followed Jesus at a distance once He was arrested. Many times we as believers put distance between ourselves and Jesus. We often do this because of our fear, love of the world and our love of sin. Like Peter, we are able to repent under the merciful grace of God and remove the distance between us and the Savior.

From The Manger And The Clouds
December 26, 2021
The first time Jesus came, He arrived in obscurity in a small town, born in a manger. The next time He comes, the sky will split like a scroll and He will be revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire. He is no longer a carpenter but King. Are you ready to meet Him? All will face Him as Judge or Savior. LUKE 2:1-7 LUKE 2:8-16 ADDITIONAL SCRIPTURE: REVELATION 19:11-15 REVELATION 1:5-7 PHILIPPIANS 2:10-11 ISAIAH 7:14 ISAIAH 9:6-7 MATTHEW 1:21 HEBREWS 9:28
It Is Finished
December 19, 2021 • John 19:25–30
At the cross, Jesus uttered His final declaration when He said, “It is finished.” When He died, He finished the wrath of God for all who will believe. He finished the separation between God and man created by sin. He finished the power of death and furnished evidence of the resurrection to come by raising dead saints to life at the time of His death and resurrection. All people will respond to his truth by either believing in Him or rejecting Him.
