Jesus!

September 20, 2021 Monday Message

Luke 2:7 Phillips: “Mary gave birth to her first child, a son. And as there was no place for them inside the inn, she wrapped him up and laid him in a manger.”

This seemingly small event is the turning point for mankind’s destiny. It’s so significant that we even count years as the time before Jesus and the time after Jesus’ birth, BC and AD. The BC stands for ‘Before Christ,’ or ‘Before Christian Era,’ while AD is the abbreviation for the Latin term, ‘Anno Domini,’ which means in the year of our Lord. This is 2021, the two-thousand twenty-first year after Jesus’ birth. We have not forgotten!

God sent Jesus to earth to solve our sin-problem, to make it possible for mankind to return to heaven. Jesus was in fact on a rescue mission. At the cross, he took upon himself the sin of the world, and clothed believers in garments of white. That’s called the Great Exchange. Even today, Jesus stands ready to redeem anyone truly seeking salvation. Are you “in?”

The birth of Jesus delivered hope to the planet!
