SERIES: 31 REASONS TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

Luke 9:9-10
And Jesus said to him,Â â€œToday salvation has come to this house, becauseÂ he also isÂ a son of Abraham;Â for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.â€

We celebrate Christmas because

Â we celebrate Jesus who came down from heaven to seek you and me, those who are lost

we can be reconciled with God the Father through Jesus Christ
Jesus came to invite us into a joyful relationship with Him so that we can face our tomorrow

Lord, grant me a repentant heart that joyfully and humbly receives you quickly. May all my celebrations this season direct those who are lost to you.

Partial Obedience? (Numbers 33:1-56) LOVE GOD

We are to be holy and set apart, not just when others can see us, but even when we are alone, and no one is watching. Jesus said “if you love me keep my commandments.”

Why Not Me? (Numbers 31:1-24) JUSTIFICATION

For the Bible says, unless we repent, we will perish too (Luke 13:5). Would you ask God to give you a contrite and repentant heart?

It Is Finished (Numbers 28:1-8) SALVATION

Who is the one person with whom you will share this truth of the finished work of the cross today?
