Unshakable

L-R My brothers, Mark and Rocky
Christmas morning, 1957

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need." (Luke 12:31)

One Christmas morning many years ago, my mother told my brother, Mark, "Don't shake that present, sugar. It might be breakable."

"It might be eggs," he concluded. "Bet it is eggs."

On the first Christmas morning long, long ago, Father God gave the world His Son, Jesus Christ - the only doorway to the Kingdom of God. 

Beloved, "since we are receiving [through faith in Jesus Christ] a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping Him with holy fear and awe." (Heb. 12:28 NLT)

Come, Thou long expected Jesus

Born to set Thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us,

Let us find our rest in Thee.

Israel's strength and consolation,

Hope of all the earth Thou art;

Dear desire of every nation,

Joy of every longing heart!1
