The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. Lamentations 3:22, NRSV
Our God is not aloof—he’s not so far above us that he can’t see and understand our problems. Jesus isn’t a God who stayed on the mountaintop—he’s a Savior who came down and lived and worked with the people. Everywhere he went, the crowds followed, drawn together by the magnet that was—and is—the Savior.
The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope.

Oh, to See Jesus
By Max Lucado
Glory to God in the highest! Luke 2:14
For the shepherds it wasn’t enough to see the angels. You’d think it would have been. Night sky shattered with light. Stillness erupting with song. Simple shepherds roused from their sleep and raised to their feet by a choir of angels: “Glory to God in the highest!” Never had these men seen such splendor.
But it wasn’t enough to see the angels. The shepherds wanted to see the one who sent the angels.

God at Work
By Max Lucado
God is at work within you, helping you want to obey him, and then helping you do what he wants. Philippians 2:13
As a result of being saved, what do we do? We obey God with deep reverence and shrink back from all that might displease Him. Practically put, we love our neighbor and refrain from gossip. We refuse to cheat on taxes and spouses and do our best to love people who are tough to love. Do we do this in order to be saved? No. These are the good things that result from being saved.

Changed by His Majesty
By Max Lucado
“We were…eyewitnesses of His majesty.” 2 Peter 1:16, NKJV
Have you seen Jesus? Those who first did were never the same.
“My Lord and my God!” cried Thomas.
“I have seen the Lord,” exclaimed Mary Magdalene.
“We have seen His glory!” declared John.
But Peter said it best. “We were eyewitnesses of His majesty.”

Magnify God in Worship
By Max Lucado
Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. Psalm 34:3, NASB
Worship is the act of magnifying God. Enlarging our vision of Him. Stepping into the cockpit to see where He sits and observe how He works. Of course, His size doesn’t change, but our perception of Him does. As we draw nearer, He seems larger. Isn’t that what we need? A big view of God?
