Excerpts/summaries from Good News of Great Joy by John Piper
"Jesus
came into the world to (1) stop us from sinning and (2) die so that
there would be a propitiation (a substitutionary sacrifice that takes
away the wrath of God) for our sins, if we do sin."
3 Christmas presents
1. A clear purpose for living. "Don't sin; believe Jesus, love others [trust Jesus, love people]"
2. Hope that our failures will be forgiven. "That is how we make progress in overcoming our sin."
3. Christ will help us. "Jesus is for us, not against us."
Mind blown when you think about this. Praise God for this wonderful day and gift!! :D :D :D MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
