What's Your Favorite?

Good morning,

My advent devotion this morning suggested I watch the movie, "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and then posed the following question:

What is your favorite part about Jesus' life?

This question may be referring to the movie, but my heart is pondering His actual life. Which is my favorite part? What moment during His time on earth seems to speak to me more than others?  I have to admit, I'm stumped. You just never know what verse or chapter is going to sweep into my trouble heart or joyous soul and blaze its glory for me.  Just yesterday it was the first chapter in John.  Almost from the first word tears were leaking out of my eyes and awe from soul. 

How can I say just one moment from "The Greatest Miracle & Truth Ever Told" is my favorite?  I can't.  But, I can say that posing this question has been a joy to me as I've pondered and reviewed some of the moments that have especially helped me in my life.

What about you? What is your favorite part of Jesus' life? I invite you to travel down memory lane with your Bible in hand and remember the parts that have helped you the most. Maybe you'll find some other previously unnoticed moments that will speak to you now.

Dear Jesus - Thank you for creating our world and everything in it. Thank you for planning each and every miraculous detail...right down to your coming into this world that wouldn't be here without you. Thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to breathe life into us through You, The Word.  Please help us to remember your earthly life today and ponder on what you experienced for our sakes.  Thank you. I love you. Amen.

Blessings and peace,

Leah
