all whose thoughts are fixed on you!”
Do you know a fixer? Someone who is a Jack of all trades and can fix anything. Or there is a problem and the fixer wants to provide the solution-all is well. Mankind had a problem in the garden. The fruit. Disobedience. Cast out. Now what? How do we fix this? Man couldn’t solve the problem. Satan wasn’t the fixer though he wanted them to think he was. God had the solution. He provided the answer. The problem was fixed. Jesus, the Son of God, born of a virgin, became the perfect blood sacrifice that remedied the separation of God and man.
Jesus is the Fixer. Man cannot redeem himself. Cannot do enough good to be in a right relationship with God. We have to go through Jesus. The Fixer fixed our problem. We are sinners in need of a Savior. He alone offers the free gift of salvation. As believers, we live a life desiring to please Him. How? By keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. “A fixed disposition of trust in the Lord brings a peace that the wicked can never know.” J. MacArthur
As we go through this Christmas season, let us remember why the Messiah came to earth in the first place. As we lift our voices up in song, let us keep our mind fixed on our Savior as we sing, “Joy to the world. The Lord has come. Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room. Let heaven and nature sing.”
