Rev Josh McPaul

From a world point of view this is where Jesus peaks!  In a good movie, this is where the hero reaches out with compassion, turns to his friends for help, and then full of confidence – bingo, the action happens and everybody is satisfied!

However, Jesus is not the ‘big show person’ of a movie, but the servant with a humble heart, the only hope for this world.

This is the Majesty of the “Good News” – Jesus is the real deal King.

Middle aged David decides to settle down and builds a great palace for himself – thinks he should build a great place for God to live in too.

The Lord speaks through Nathan to David, to tell him  that he is quite happy slumming it in a tent!

God stays with people who have not found a place to settle. God in a tent, actually wants the best for us!

David’s great, great grandson came, Jesus, and “the word became flesh and dwelt among us” – the promise of God for every season of our lives.

These days we never know when or where we are being watched. Invisible cameras are appearing everywhere and some one is at the other end checking on us!

There is another invisible eye that watches over us because we have been chosen from the foundation of time.

For those who know His goodness, this invisible eye can be a source of Joy, Blessing and Encouragement.

The men of the Synagogue could not believe that a Carpenter (Jesus), could be trusted as being a man of God, full of love and grace.

When control that manages the details of our life is relinquished and we start to trust in God, then real soul experiences will happen as God has our best interests at heart.  Exercise patience and pay attention to life around you and wait to be surprised by God.
