Everybody's got a story, but I have a testimony of my Redeemer, my Savior and my Friend. Lifting up the name of Christ through scripture (Gospel of John) and song. We "have overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony" ("You Overcame" by Jeremy Camp) ("Redeemer, Savior, Friend" by Dave Brooks).
We knocked, and the door was opened. We sought and found the lover of our souls. "Scarcely had I passed them when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her who conceived me." Christ has become our one and only desire, and now the favor of our Father rests upon us. We commemorate the embodiment of Christ in the flesh, His birth and His crucifixion, but we kneel before and worship the Most High, who is now seated on the Father's throne. We have picked up our cross, and we have followed Christ into the throne room of our Father. We have entered into God's most inner sanctum, the holy of holies, and now the promises of the Holy Spirit are bestowed upon us. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, we have "seen heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." In Christ we have our being, and without Him, we would not exist. We now live our lives to be obedient to Christ and to do the will of the Father. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
