Christmas: More Than A Nice Story // Wonderful Counselor | Jordan Smucker | 12.06.20
Christmas can be a very difficult season for many people. It can highlight the loss of a loved one, reawaken old family drama, or even make us painfully aware of our loneliness. But even in that darkness, we can have hope because Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor who guides us from a position of authority. It may feel intimidating to approach God with your problems. What if He ignores you? What if He rejects you? What if you only receive judgement instead of mercy? These questions may seem reasonable, but they stem from thinking that God is like an angry boss, rather than a Wonderful Counselor. When we approach God with our problems, our sins, and our hopes; He sympathizes with our weaknesses and is eager to help us.
Jesus wants us to come to Him with our problems, our joys, our questions, and our hopes. He is both willing and able to help and heal us. But we have to come to Him in full honesty, be willing to change, and be ready to do what He says. In Him, we have a guide that is better than words can describe. Loosen your grip on your secrets, your fears, and your determination to follow your own counsel and allow Jesus to guide you. When you hand over your life to Jesus, light will overwhelm your darkness.
“For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.”
-Psalm 100:5 (NLT)-
