Also this from The Gospel Coalition regarding Christmas by Tullian Tchividjian "The Great Reversal"
Here is a snippet:
We who believe the gospel will enjoy sinless hearts and minds along with disease-free bodies. All that causes us pain and discomfort will be destroyed, and we will live forever. We’ll finally be able “to enjoy what is most enjoyable with unbounded energy and passion forever.”___________________________________________________________________________
Christmas is the celebration of this process begun and the promise that it will one day be completed.
Prayer
Here is the link to a series on prayer from the resurgence site. The latest installment -- Intercessory Prayer: Standing Between Two Extremes by Winfield BevinsActs 29 Pastor - Outer Banks, North Carolina. Here is a snippet:
Jesus the Ultimate Intercessor
There are numerous examples of individuals in the Bible who accepted the challenge to intercede on behalf of others, but the greatest example of intercession can be seen in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us, "Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).
Jesus still sits at the right hand of God and continually makes intercession on our behalf. Jesus' intercession isn't just a prayer that he prayed, but the life that he lived. Everything he said and did was for us! The essential meaning of the cross is Christ's mediation for all who would be saved. The Bible tells us, "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). True intercession begins by following Jesus' example of self-giving, and then flows into fervent prayer for the lives of others.
