THE CHRISTMAS GIFT WE ALL NEED: JESUS...! ...It is easy to hear the Christmas story and think what a wonderful story. However the Christmas story is far more than just a lovely story that happened in the past. The Christmas story is a turning point in your life and my life. When we see it like that we begin to understand that at Christmas, God is announcing to the world that here is a gift that will change our life. The gift of Jesus changes our future, and as a result it impacts our lives now. .....Listen again to Titus 3, verse 4 and 5 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. ......Jesus didnt come into the world for us because we deserved Him or because we were friends with him or part of his family. Many of the gifts we give at Christmas are to repay people, or because we feel they deserve something or it is expected because they are family or friends. But this is not why God gives us the gift of Jesus. It was because we need Jesus. Each of us has a major problem. Without Jesus, we would have no hope of a future.Some of you may know of the criminal character, Chopper Read. He is dying, and the only thing that will give Him some extra years on this earth is a liver transplant.Without that gift he will be dead within a few years.However he refuses to take a transplant because he says he does not deserve it. ....Likewise none of us deserve the gift of Jesus. As God tells us through Romans 3, we all fail to meet God’s expectations. Yet we need Jesus and Jesus encourages us to grab hold and use Him and the gifts that come along with Him., God is so generous He is still willing to give us Jesus the gift. God bless you, ...Gina... MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL!
