Merry Christmas!



Tis the season for Christians to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Today many people celebrate Christmas but they're not Christians.  They think that Christmas is all about gifts!  They will spend more money than they have to shower gifts on their family and friends.  Many times these gifts are unappreciated.  They're not what was needed or they're the wrong size, wrong color, wrong style.  Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

There is no consideration of the reason for the season.  Jesus is the reason.

If you have never accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, then my desire is that you do that today.  He is the only gift that you NEED!  God wants you to choose His Son.  He said you take my son and I'll take you!  God sent Jesus to pay your sin debt and all you have to do is accept His gift. 
If you do nothing, you have made your choice.  If you want to spend eternity in heaven you must accept that Jesus was born of a virgin, he died, was buried and on the third day he rose again and is sitting on the right hand of God.  God does not want you to go to hell, that's why he sent Jesus to pay your debt.
If you could work or be good enough to get to heaven God would not have sent Jesus.  If you rely on your own good works, you will go straight to hell. In John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me."   Ephesians 2:8-9 says "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

God is the only one that gives good and perfect gifts.  God is the only one that knows exactly what you need.  Please accept God's gift to you!
