The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Matthew 1:18-25
Pray that God will speak to you
through the reading of His word.

Desiring Justice
o
Joseph was a righteous man, to the
extent that his desire for justice didn’t lead him to vengeance. Through the angel sent by God, he learns that
in fact he hasn’t been wrong at all. Do
we desire justice, or vengeance when we are wronged? Do we still show concern even for those whom
we think have wronged us?
-
Jesus
o
Jesus’ name comes from “Yahweh saves”,
and points to his mission to save us from our sins. While others were more concerned with the
restoration of national glory, God was concerned with the state of the peoples’
hearts. How concerned are you about the
sin in your life?
-
Immanuel
o
Immanuel means “God with Us”, which
is a reminder that Jesus will always be present in our world, even unto the “end
of the age”. How is Jesus present in
your life?
Pray that justice will always be
done.
Thank God for a Messiah who cleanses
us of our sins.
Thank God for the continued presence
of Christ in our lives.
