Let's Not Forget

Let's Not Forget...

- that Christmas is not just about what we get

- that Christmas is a lot more than candy canes and fancy decorations

- the many who do not have a warm place to celebrate Christmas

- all who have lost someone very close and special to them

- the innocence we once had as a child

- the Christ-child who is celebrated at Christmas

- the love God has for you and me in sending His Son to this world

- the reason Jesus came to this world.

...

Jesus came to save.

His purpose was to become the sacrificial lamb that would take away the sin of those who would believe in Him.

Let's not forget this at Christmas.

Merry Christmas!
