God's Gift of Christmas
God’s Gift of Christmas Luke 2:1-14 Main Point: God offers His Christmas gift to each of us - it is the gift of His peace and Favor through His Son Jesus Christ, the Savior and Lord! 1. God’s gift of Christmas is inner peace, where we are in right relationship to God through Jesus Christ. (verses 10-11) *It is a deep inner peace, peace of mind, soul and heart made possible by forgiveness of our sins by this Savior, Messiah - born to die & rise again! 2. We receive this gift by believing in Jesus Christ (putting our faith in Him) - we trust in what He has done for us, and invite Him into our lives. *God’s favor rests on those who respond to His call to repentance, turn from our sin & self-will, and receive His Son, Jesus Christ, in our lives as Lord = Master! John 1:12-13 Have you received this Christmas gift into your life??
