Worden's Year 2014

The following letter was created in December but it is just making its debut on this blog today.  I hope to more faithfully update my blog this year.  Perhaps that will happen if I can figure out how to prioritize my time and energy to include this writing opportunity which brings me great joy.  Stay tuned and enjoy a synopsis of life at our home in 2014.

...The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.

                                                            Isaiah 7: 14b

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,

because he will save his people from their sins.

Matthew 1: 21

For there is no difference between  Jew and Gentile – the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10: 12-13

How grateful we are that God’s greatest Christmas gift of Jesus would be a gift available to all people – Jews and non-Jews.  But gifts must be received in order for them to have personal worth.  Receiving takes place when one believes in Jesus.  The gift is free but cost Jesus his life – love truly amazing & humbling.
