Do you see how he nourishes you in the wilderness of waiting, this Christmas? It’s not by bread alone…nor by chicken, prawns or whatever you eat on December 25th.

It’s better, it nourishes you forever.

It’s feasting on being fed his word, in the gospel, that comes from the mouth of God, and is preached to your heart, entering your spiritual bloodstream, nourishing your soul.

When Satan tempts you to despair, when he accuses you day and night, what you need in these moments is to know what is so true and who is for you. Jesus Christ is.

God will nourish his church in this time of advent, in this time of waiting for the return of Christ. As we turn to the table of the Lord, we who believe in the Lord Jesus are going to be nourished by the gospel that sets the Christmas table of the church.
