As you reflect on the birth of Jesus this week, remember why he was sent.

Christ was sent to earth by God as a baby, who would grow up not to condemn – but to save us from our sins through his death on the cross.

Jesus came to take my place, and yours, and rose from the dead to show he offers us new life as well. Life beyond death. Life eternal. Life with him. 

Jesus was a baby who grew up to save us from ourselves; to redeem what is broken.

 Thank you, Jesus. We worship you for all you’ve done, in love, for us.

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:17 NIV

    ~~ “Life beyond death. Life eternal. Life with him. ” ~~ Sometimes I like to sit quietly and try to wrap my mind around what it will be like. Anything I imagine, I am sure, does not even comes close to what He has waiting for us!

    Christmas blessings to you and your family, Ali!

    Hello Ali…is Christianity growing in the land down-under? My older brother lived there 1971-72 was a surfer at Byron Bay. We have American friends still living there…they love it there. God bless.

      Oh wow, that’s cool. Byron Bay is beautiful. There’s some growth. Hillsong is a big, thriving church.
