Day 17

Everyday we have been discussing and visiting different stories throughout the Bible to help us understand and dig deeper into the meaning of Christmas. John 3:16 is a verse I'm sure most of you are familiar with, but it is one that could sum up most of our discussions over the last couple of weeks.

So what does it mean? That God loved the world, loved you, so much that he sent a savior. Not just anyone, but his one and only son. Sent to the world to purchase our freedom with death. Wow! Isn't that so incredible. No other place on this Earth will you find a love like that.

During a time we are hoping and wishing for certain things to be under the tree, or dreaming of that perfect gift, pause for a moment and consider all we do have. Today is simple, yet I believe it to be so important! Praise! Praise the Lord for all that we have, in His word, in our lives, in our hearts, in our future! Spend some time today praising God for John 3:16. Because Jesus willingly died for our sins, all you have to do is believe and you receive the greatest gift. I hope you have great joy in the knowing of your salvation. That you are thrilled and confident in who you believe in and whose you are!

Praise the Lord!!!!!
