It's the Christmas season, just after your child's Christmas pageant, when all you want to do is get home with your family....and then you see this big guy crying in the back of the church. What would you do? Here's what one man did...

Hearts are turned, not by the angry voices of the convinced shouting their convictions, but by the surprising sweep of the awe-inspiring, bigger-than-us realization that "Jesus loves me"; and the heartbreakingly simple message He asks us to pass on that.....

What makes our labor holy, what makes it eternal, is not just the work but the state of our hearts while performing that work. When we comprehend that truth, then we realize washing dishes is as significant to the Kingdom as operating on a patient; driving a truck is as eternally triumphant as leading a company. Then, even in the zig-zags of our careers, when life seems more random than ordered, when it feels like we're running in thick mud with heavy boots, we can rest in the knowledge we're serving God as we labor faithfully and diligently.

For those of us who call on the name of Christ for salvation, nothing will ever again separate us from the love of Christ and the fellowship of God. So even though He wants us to work and even though He desires excellence and rewards perseverance and diligence, what He values most is us.

We cannot adequately explain the hardest moments of our lives. We cannot soothe all the sorrows that regularly beset us, or the sorrows of those whom God has placed around us. We cannot wave a magic wand and fix the distresses we see besieging those we love, those we work with, those we know. In our hardest moments, our best efforts are feeble...our best words are hollow. But...

One of the fastest ways to incur God's displeasure is to fail to pass on His forgiveness. It's a bigger deal than you think.

Employers, coworkers and customers who trust our daily work efforts are more likely to trust our spiritual efforts also.

The eternal promises of God must be our anchor when the storms of life overtake us.

Last week, we examined the encounter between Esau and Jacob, and the temptation to trade things of greater value for the lesser significance of immediate gratification. This week, we examine Jacob, and ask the question of Christians in authority: Are we demanding too much?

Incredible as it seems, the God of the universe loves us as if we were the only person left in the Kingdom.
