A Taste of Christ- Christmas Eve Devotional

Weekly devotional: Taste and see that The Lord is good- When we have our first real encounter with Jesus in our personal lives it is impossible to deny Him. We can decide to continue to ignore Him and do our own thing but we CANNOT deny His existence. However much we may want to try to hide his existence in our minds, or pretend we never had that encounter, we cannot escape the fact that we have already one time tasted the true goodness of God. It is impossible for us after having tasted his goodness for the first time in our encounter, to speak evil of Him. Whether we choose to follow Him after this encounter or not is up to us but we will not nor can we ever anymore say He is not real and He is not good. When we taste and see that The Lord is good our mouth becomes so intoxicated with the taste of Jesus that nothing else in our lives satisfies our cravings anymore. We do not desire to taste of anymore worldly pleasures because they pale in comparison to the great taste of a relationship with Christ. As Christians we must all eventually come to a point where we stop living for the petty things of this world, but in order to do this we cannot just ignore the world and it's sinful pleasures. We must replace those sinful pleasures with something even more pleasurable. We soon find that the only thing that can replace them is a real relationship with our creator Jesus Christ. This Christmas let us taste and see that The Lord is better than any other desire or pleasure this world has to offer, and decide to live for Him not just on Christmas but on every day of the year! Merry Christmas and God bless.
