Merry Christmas family and friends! I pray that you'll reflect on Jesus' name; the one whose birthday we celebrate today.
Jesus, God and very God took humanity to Himself and came to us a man, experiencing the same challenges and joys we face, even allowing himself to die a grizzly death on a cross so that we would be saved from the penalty of our sins. That penalty is death forever! Jesus' death on that cross more than 2000 years ago is the payment for that penalty for all people for all time!
His death is the salvation of all people as long as they accept it. It's a gift, so you cannot earn it and cannot deserve it so that nobody can brag that they received it. You must take it by sincerely trusting that Jesus did this for you and choosing to turn from your sins (lying, stealing, cheating, lusting, etc.) those of which we have all committed. The penalty for one sin is the same as for ten! When it comes to turning from our sin we can't do it ourselves. If we could we would have done it already. We must trust in Jesus to make us strong where we are weak. This is a daily giving up our rights just as he gave up His to save us for eternity. He chose you, now choose Him and make the best decision of your life. Accept His death on the cross and turn from your sins.
"God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever trusts in Him should not die but have life and live forever." John 3:16.
