We humans are essentially selfish; we approach every issue primarily from the point of personal gain, what is in it for us. And this is true even with our redemption.
Many who have embraced salvation in Christ see it either as a personal trophy to be displayed or just something from which to derive maximum personal benefits._
Our relationship with Jesus must however go beyond that. For when the angels announced His birth, they said, “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to ALL people”* His coming will bring “Glory to God in highest, and peace on earth…” (Luke 2:11-14).
SIMEON, the prophet, captured this in his worship at his dedication: “He is a light to reveal God to the gentiles and the glory of your people…” (Luke 2:32)_
Every genuine encounter with Jesus manifests in transformed lives (His GLORY) and His light shining through us (our WITNESS). Let’s keep the lights burning.*_
