Listen to Him!

This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him! (Matthew 17:5)

Christmas is now past us, and for many people if they even thought of Jesus during the Christmas season, those thoughts are long past.

It’s so easy to do too. The Jesus most people think of at Christmas is the baby in the manger. A Jesus that makes no demands. Certainly not a Jesus that is to be obeyed.

But that is exactly what the Father commands. Jesus is not just a man of history born 2000 years ago.

He was and is God’s Son, his beloved Son with whom he is well-pleased.

And so though Christmas is past us, let us keep in mind each day the Father’s words and listen to his Son. And not only listen to him, but obey.
