Bible Time/ Christmas

December 25 is another day in the calendar of 365 days of 2009. The planet will spin tomorrow just as it did yesterday. But as a day we have chosen to focus on the birth of Jesus, December 25 can be a day of remembering and rejoicing that God loved us so much that He became man and came to this spinning Earth to save us from the eternal consequences of the guilt of our spinning souls. The Bible says the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem was the beginning of that gift. It had been promised to us in the first moments following mankind’s rejection of God in the Garden of Eden and that promise was complete when Jesus was raised from the dead after offering Himself to God as a sacrifice for our sins. The moment we receive it with simple faith in Jesus alone it is our gift forever.
And so, may all the joy, peace, and rest in hope that God purposes for you to have through Jesus Christ be yours this Christmas.
