While you stir up these cookies, take time to remember that Christ was whipped on our behalf. Yes, yours. (And mine). It’s all well and good to be thinking warm and fuzzy for the month of December but remember there also is an Easter.

Matthew 27:26- So he set free for them Barabbas; and he [had] Jesus whipped, and delivered Him up to be crucified (AMP).

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, never let us forget the truth. You sent your son Jesus to die for us. That was always Your plan, even as He snuggled in Mary’s arms. Amen.
