Deuteronomy 16:1
"Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God, because in the month of Abib He brought you out of Egypt by night..."
The month of Abib is to serve as a point in time!
The celebration of Passover is to serve as a reminder!
And the Exodus is to serve as a demonstration of God's Power when it is acted upon!
In this Christmas Season, there will come a point in time when you will feel stirred to help someone else out.
Maybe you will be reminded of how God sent someone into your life just at the right time to help you get through a tough season.
Lastly, you MUST make every effort to combine that "Stirred Feeling" & that "Pleasant Memory" in order to produce someone else's Exodus!
"DESIRE PAIRED WITH ACTION IS THE ONLY FORMULA THAT RESULTS IN FREEDOM!"
Jesus' birth was a step toward delivering humanity from the bondage of sin which resulted from a DESIRE that was coupled with an ACTION!
"OUR DESIRES, IF NOT COUPLED WITH ACTION, ARE MEANINGLESS!"
