Christmas Greetings

Merry Christmas everyone!

My hope and prayer for everyone who reads this message is that they truly experience God's blessings that flow from the greatest gift at Christmas time.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son [one of kind] that whoever believes in Him shall not perish [eternal destruction] but shall have eternal life.

God the Father loved sinful rebels so much that He voluntarily sent His dear Son to die in their place. This is the Son in whom He [the Father] enjoyed perfect fellowhip with for all eternity.

God the Son, willfully volunteered to become a man, to live a perfectly faithful life [without sin], and to suffer God's wrath for sin on the cross and die so that all those from every tribe, tongue and nation who will trust their lives into His hands, as Saviour and Lord, will have everlasting blessings.

Three days after Jesus died, He arose from death...in His earthly ministry Jesus told people that He would voluntarily lay down His life and He also had the power to take up His life again.

After Jesus rose from the grave He ascended into heaven, where He and God the Father then sent the Holy Spirit into the world to empower His church.

The Christmas message is just as relevant today as it was in the first century...God is still in the business of saving sinners. God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are still drawing rebellious sinners today, cleansing them, and using them to advance the Kingdom of Christ.

The God who created and governs the universe has promised that the whole world will eventually bow the knee to Jesus as King...He will personally see to this. Amen.
