Luke 1:30-33

But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end. - Luke 1:30-33

Dear Jesus,

Your mom didn't need a baby name book. God had already decided your name that would describe your life, "The Lord Saves". Your greatness can't be denied. Two billion of us believe you saved us. Your name is all over the planet and you have to be the most quoted and misquoted man that ever lived. And to think you never once wrote down your own words. I know you are reigning in believer's hearts. But I don't see you visibly reigning anywhere else. I trust that you are, however. I trust that you are working everything out for the good of your people no matter what country they are in. It gives me peace when I think of our bi-partisan congress or the Korean threat or a hundred other haunting reports. You have saved us from our sins and you will save us from our troubles. Help me to live in the peace that comes from your firm grip on my life.

Amen

Pastor Don Patterson

Jesus gave up so much to save us, he's not going to let us slip away from him because of some bani rooster government snafu.
