Greetings everyone, today we did not have an evening service. I asked all to stay home with their loved ones and share this most joyous day with family. We should remember Christ everyday but for many of our un-saved loved ones this is not the case. Christmas is an excellent time to share the love of Jesus with them. Many are open to listening to God's word this time of year so why not take advantage of their willingness to listen. I have a short "sermon" to share with everyone this evening. What is Christmas all about?
The true meaning of Christmas is love. John 3:16-17 says, "For God so
loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not
send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him." The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of this incredible act of love.
The
real Christmas story is the story of God's becoming a human being in
the Person of Jesus Christ. Why did God do such a thing? Because He
loves us !! Why was Christmas necessary? Because we needed a Savior !!
Why does God love us so much? Because He is love itself (1 John 4:8).
Why do we celebrate Christmas each year? Out of gratitude for what God
did for us, we remember His birth by giving each other gifts, worshiping
Him, and being especially conscious of the poor and less fortunate.
The true meaning of Christmas is love.
God loved His own and provided a way—the only Way—for us to spend
eternity with Him. He gave His only Son to take our punishment for our
sins. He paid the price in full, and we are free from condemnation when
we accept that free gift of love. "But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
I pray that everyone remembers the love that God has for us everyday and shares that love with others. Till next God Bless ....
