Holy Is His Name

"He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name." (Luke 1:49)

We must never forget that when we celebrate Christmas - Christ and His birth - we are celebrating the God of heaven and earth.

Some may not submit to His lordship, but that don't change the fact that the Father has given His Son. Jesus is Lord whether recognized or not, and He longs to be Lord of your life. He is holy and wants us to be wholly His!

Today is the Ordination and Commissioning service of the Ambassadors Of Holiness session in Melbourne. They each have submitted to the lordship of Christ and have personally chosen to serve their holy God in full time ministry as Salvation Army Officers. Today we meet together to formally recognize that they are "blessed to be a blessing", having given Christ central place in their lives.

The Good News is that our Holy God reaches out to us longing to personally bless us abundantly. He wants us to give Christ His rightful place in our lives, so we can be fully blessed. As Christ's followers, we can all be worthy Ambassadors of God's Holiness.
