Matthew 2: 1-2 The Christmas Season is for adoring Christ.

The Rapture is an incredible promise we hold onto as believers—a moment when Christ will come to take His followers to be with Him. The Bible describes this in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: “the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God.” Those who have died in Christ will rise first, and then those of us who are alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. What a beautiful reunion that will be!

This story highlights the virtues of hospitality, generosity, and faith. The woman’s kindness to Elisha opened the door to blessings, as Elisha later prophesied that she would have a son, fulfilling a deep longing she had not even expressed openly. The narrative is a beautiful reminder of how acts of kindness and hospitality, especially to servants of God, can lead to unexpected blessings.

It also shows that God cares about our practical concerns and is able to provide in ways that surpass our expectations.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:4). Spiritual gifts are divine abilities imparted to believers by the Holy Spirit to serve and strengthen the Church.
