Jesus says to us: "Abide in Me, as I abide in you." This is an invitation, one of several, an expression of hospitality encouraging us to seek our home in Him - finding security, acceptance, comfort, and care. This message explores another invitation - to "ask, seek, and knock" - reflecting on how we respond to this summons to a spiritual journey that brings us to our true home.

The angels celebrated Jesus' birth, singing: "“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!” (Luke 2:14) Question: Who are "those with whom God is pleased?" Hebrews 11:6 says, "Without faith it's impossible to please God." Hebrews 11:6 identifies two characteristics of God-pleasing faith: a belief that God exists AND a confidence that He reveals Himself to those who sincerely seek to know Him. God graciously offers His peace to everyone on earth! He explains how we receive this gift by faith: believing that God has revealed Himself in His Son, our Savior, the Holy Infant of whom the angels sang.
