Encourage one another and build one another up.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11, For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

This time of year we can rejoice as we know that He is coming soon. He who came as an infant, lived as a suffering servant, died to set us free, and rose from the dead will soon return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Be encouraged!

We give thanks that You have revealed Your truth and You send us forth in the joy of this season!
