Topic: APPRECIATING GOD FOR JESUS ( part 2 )
Text : Romans 8:32
32: He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family, I was able to explain what necessitated the birth of Jesus yesterday, he came to make good what Adam messed up. This morning I want to explain in the light of the scriptures the packages that come with Christmas.
Let me start by telling you the meaning of Jesus, Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. In verse 20 of this same chapter an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph, telling him his wife to be, who is already pregnant, will have a son, and his name will be called Jesus, why? Because he will save his people from their sins. The first purpose of his birth is to save us from sin, if sin is still reigning in your life then, there is no point celebrating Christmas.
He was born to bring us deliverance from the powers of darkness, Colossians 1:13 [The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. It means we are free from the hold of darkness, the devil has no power over us.
His birth brings to us life in abundance; The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). If you receive Christ as lord and saviour, you won’t live your life in uncertainty, there is assurance of life in abundance both here on earth and in the world to come.
Jesus came to replace every of our negative experiences with good ones, how do I know? Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness…’ He is come to replace our sorrows with Joy, it therefore means you are not meant to live in affliction, pains, sickness, poverty, sorrows, failure any more.
God has given us everything in Jesus freely, you are not meant to pay for it, just believe God accept him as your Lord and saviour. These are reason for Christmas, for you to have a good life, live in peace, joy, health, prosperity, in holiness, and finally reign with God, so it is important we appreciate God for Jesus, for giving us a second chance in Jesus, the people in the days of Noah didn’t have such opportunity, such opportunity was far from Sodom and Gomorrah, oh how good and great he is to us? We got victory over sin, devil and the challenges of life in Jesus. God bless you.
PRAYER.
* Thank you God for giving us Jesus.
* By the sacrifice of Jesus I receive abundant life.
* Whatever is a challenge, concern, pain in life is ended right now in the name of Jesus.
