The Anti-List

Published: Dec. 13, 2015, 10 a.m.

While the world around us becomes obsessed with what's "in stores,” the Christian Church turns its attention to what God has "in store" for the world and its people. By revealing to us everything about the future that he wants us to know, God also helps us get ready for what he has planned. This week God's Word leads us to compare two important lists: the list of things God wants for us and the list of things we want from God. Very often we make demands of God the way we do when we make our wish lists at Christmas. However, when we realize what God wants for us, which is much greater than anything we could ask or imagine, we realize that he's already given us all we need in Christ.
