Sometimes it's so easy to get wrapped up in the moment of Christmas day that we lose sight of what it's all really about! Today we celebrate the birth of Christ... We celebrate the life that He lived.. We thank Him for the substutionary death that He died to cover our sins! We celebrate the first advent (coming) and look forward with great anticipation of the second advent that is foretold in the scriptures!
1 Timothy 1:12-17 NIV
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Merry Christmas all!!! And remember... Jesus loves you and so do I!
