Reflection on our Earthly Possessions

by Cindy Hess Kasper

Let us constantly take a moment to ponder that it's easy to take for granted all the material and spiritual blessings that God has given us. That's why we need to stop and remember that Scripture says the true owner of all we possess is God:"All that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all"
(1 Chronicles 29:11).

Even our bodies do not belong to us:"Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
(1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

Who is this Jesus?

by Pastor David Lim


Matthew 1:1 (Jesus is the Son of David) which fulfills his father Joseph being the Son of David lineage (Matthew 1:20) and his father Mary (Matthew 1:16-17).

Matthew 1:16 (Jesus is call Christ)

Matthew 1:22-23 (Jesus is Immanuel) which fulfills Isaiah's Prophecy in Isaiah 7:14

Matthew 2:23 (Jesus is a Nazarene) which fulfills Isaiah's Prophecy in Isaiah 11:1

Matthew 2:2 (Jesus is King of the Jews)


In all these, Jesus came in the form of infant to show us He was made flesh and dwell amongst us. He was born in Bethlehem, went to Nazareth which both are insignificant towns which tells us He cares even with the least which people considers.
