For Saturday, December 25, 2021 Merry Christmas!
Matthew 1:21 NLT: “Mary will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus,[the Lord saves,] for he will save his people from their sins.”
Today we celebrate a dividing line in history, an event that changed everything – forever! Jesus arrived into a community of devoted Jews who held a deep-rooted belief that only God could forgive sins. So if they’re saying that Jesus will save people from their sins, they’re effectively calling him “God!”
This baby, Son of God, was the focus of a chorus of angels singing in the sky, celebrating the event and sharing the Good News with the Shepherds.
We believers are the beneficiaries of Jesus’ love and forgiveness. He alone can make us right with God. Because of Jesus, we can get to see heaven from the inside! The hope we have been given stretches into eternity!
Merry Christmas!
