This is the reminder that the worship leader at church gave to the congregation this morning. I have found that this year more than ever as I celebrate Christmas, I also celebrate the cross. Without the cross, the manger loses its' significance. The manger is part of the bigger picture, the story of God. The manger reminds us that Jesus came, the cross reminds us why. Jesus, our Saviour came to this world as a baby to save us from our sins and redeem us from the penalty of death. Baby Jesus is Saviour Jesus.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." - John 3:16
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18
Dear Jesus,
Thank You for the manger and thank You for the cross. Thank You for coming to this earth and Thank You for dying on the cross so that we can know You personally. I know that I will never fully grasp the depth of that this side of heaven, but thank You for loving us in this way. Amen.
