The Gift of Christmas
From conception, Jesus’ purpose was made known: to save His people from their sins. Because even before God created the world—His plan was to save it.
Isn’t it interesting that you didn’t choose the time, place, body, or family in which you were born? But God has you here, right now, on purpose.
You’ve been grafted into an ongoing story playing out since the beginning of time. And this timeless offer, to be saved from the shackles of your sin and freed from a debt you could never pay, has been extended to you.
What is sin? Sin is choosing our way instead of God’s. Sin is rebelling against His design and His plan. And we’ve all done it—we’ve all fallen short of God’s righteous standard.
But that’s why He sent Jesus—because He loved us that much.
Like a soldier who sacrifices his life for his family, friends, or country, Jesus gave His life for the sake of the world.
If you’ve never accepted the free gift of salvation, today can be your day, and this moment can be your moment. There’s nothing you can do to earn it, but you can come to Him—just as you are.
Mom went into the hospital just before Easter. She passed on the 15th. If I was at home, I would have watched the services online. Please enjoy catching up with the teachings.
