“Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people."
I took the picture this morning. It is hanging just inside our front door. I love mistletoe!! Kissing is a beautiful thing. It is an intimate expression of love. "Greet one another with a holy kiss," says the heart of God. A holy kiss!! A holy kiss is never forced. It is freely given and gratefully received. I kiss my wife. I kiss my children. I kiss my grandchildren. I kiss my brothers and sisters in Christ.
If holy kisses filled the world how different the world would be!! If every kiss that was exchanged was a HOLY kiss the nightly news would take on a much different flavor.
Psalm 85:10
Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
This is one my favorite Christmas revelations in the Bible. This happened in Jesus. Love, faithfulness, righteousness and peace kissed each other. In Jesus we have absolute holiness. Righteousness! AND at the same time we have unstoppable love and peace! Because of Jesus, His coming, His death for our sins, we have all that matters. His righteousness is fulfilled instead of our doom sealed. AND we experience His love and peace!
Where there is perfect righteousness we experience judgement because we are not righteous. Through Jesus righteousness kisses love and peace with God.
Need a holy kiss? Jesus!
