Our Gift for Jesus, (Pt. 3)

The person, who is always the most difficult to give to, is the person who has everything. In our Christmas series this year, we are talking about giving to the Lord. He does have everything. He is self-existent and totally self-sufficient. He does not need anything or anyone. What to you give the Lord for Christmas? We decided that the only appropriate gift is the gift described in Romans 12:1. "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable act of worship." We are talking about the gift of ourselves as a living sacrifice to the Lord.

We have listened in on the LORD's conversation with Moses, when God called to do the work God created him to do. Moses was not thrilled. In fact, he was terrified. His first problem was he thought he was nobody and because of this, could not be used of God. God said, "No, I will be with you!" Nobody plus God is somebody. Next, Moses claimed he didn't know the LORD well enough to serve Him. God replied with a revelation of Himself.

We come now to Moses' third objection. "Then Moses answered, 'But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, The Lord did not appear to you.'"
