Merry Christmas!
We hear these words often these days, but what makes Christmas so merry is the reason God the Father sent his Son here. In this week's installment of my Messages About Purpose and Strategy, I want to remind you of some familiar verses that clarify the good news about Jesus as God's perfect Christmas present. Get your Bible out and follow along. This exercise will help you grasp God's amazing grace and it will also equip you to share what makes Christmas so merry!
Why did Jesus come here? See Mt. 1:21.
How did he do that? He died in our place (Is. 53:3-6).
What does this show? See Rom. 5:8. Next, look up John 1:29.
Now, answer this: if Jesus takes away the sin of the world, where does he put it? See 1 Pet. 2:24. See also 1 Pet 1:18,19 and 3:18.
These verses explain why Jesus was born here for us.
