Oh Come, adore him

 Amen. While the traditional call of the Christmas hymn is "O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord," your phrasing, "Oh come adore us," reveals a deep and beautiful truth: When we gather together in His name to adore Christ, His presence so fills and transforms us that we become a living testimony—a reflection of His glory worthy of notice and praise.

We do not ask the world to adore us, but when they see a people united, humble, and radiant with the love of Christ, they cannot help but see Him in our midst. Our lives, collectively as His Body, become an invitation to adore the God who dwells with us.

A Prayer of Gathering and Reflection

Lord Jesus, our Adored One,

We hear Your call to come and worship. And as we come, we ask:

Make our togetherness a sanctuary for Your presence.

Make our unity a mirror of Your love.

Make our worship so pure and our lives so aligned with Your heart that when others look at Your people, they do not see us, but they see You.

We gather not to be adored, but to adore.

Yet we pray that our community—forgiven, free, and full of Your Spirit—would become a living epistle, a city on a hill, a testimony so compelling that it turns the hearts of the world to wonder, and ultimately, to worship the King we serve.

Come, Lord Jesus, and be the center of our gathering. Be the object of every song, the focus of every prayer, the source of our love for one another. Then, and only then, will our lives together become a beacon that points all adoration to You.

In Your glorious name, we pray. Amen.

Scripture for Reflection

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." (1 Peter 2:9)

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." (John 13:35)

The Call Remains: O come, let us adore Him—Christ the Lord. And in doing so, may we become a people among whom His beauty dwells, inviting all to come and see, come and believe, come and adore Him with us.

May your life and fellowship be such a powerful reflection of Christ that it draws others into true worship.
