A Magnificent Plan, it was!
Its what God had in mind all along, to bruise HIM and fill HIM with grief.
Hear this unforgettable Podcast!
THE PLAN:
That Christ give himself as an offering for our filthy sins, so that He’d see life come from it; a multitude of children- heirs!
For Christ DIED Once for ALL SINS, wanting to bring us safely home to God. And though His body died, His spirit lives on, and Gods plan will deeply prosper through Him. 1 peter 3:18
Who would have thought Gods saving power would look like this?
We never saw it coming; we searched for a handsome king on a white horse, ROYALTY, we thought.
But what good could come out of Nazareth? John 1:46
Yet, when Christ sees what’s accomplished by the anguish of His soul, He WILL be satisfied!
Because of His experience on the cross, He has counted YOU and ME righteous before Him, God.
An extravagant reward, the best of everything, and highest honor to Christ!
Because He looked death in the face and didn’t flinch, yes He embraced the company of the lowest.
Christ took on His shoulders the sins of us all.
He took up the cause of the “black sheep,” taking the title away from us.
Yes! Hooray! We are free to live RIGHTEOUSLY through Him.
“For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world…” He said. John 18:37
Immanuel
God is truly with us! Matt 1:23
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the GOVERNMENT will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called WONDERFUL, COUNSLOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE. Isaiah 9:6
Yes, it was JESUS CHRIST. Isaiah 53 MSG, TLB
Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Years!
I pray this series has truly blessed you and helped you to see the reason for Christmas. It’s so easy to get lost in the hype of things: shopping, décor, sweets!
Truth is, Christ birth was part of a large plan to save us.
Christ has given us salvation. He does not force this truly wonderful free gift on us -no, this gift is your CHOICE.
There are so many things that we are willing to do in life that makes no sense. Yet, coming to Christ is the only thing that truly does. Can you imagine freedom and TRUE happiness?
Salvation Plan
If you are ready say this starting prayer: confess it with your mouth and believe it with your heart.
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose to give me life. Right now Lord, I turn from my sins opening my heart and life for You to come in. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus name, Amen. (Romans 10:9)
