Jesus: The Greatest Giftનમૂનો

On the very first Christmas, God the Father sent His Son to earth. That is why we celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmastime. He showed us the way of love and died on the cross for our sins. He is the foundation of the Far Greater Story, which is the true story of God’s love for us revealed in the Bible. The Far Greater Story is something we explore in Lightgliders all the time. It has four key parts:

• Creation tells us how this world and our lives became a reality. God created.
• Rebellion explains why there is suffering, evil, and death in this world. We all have rebelled against God’s ways of love. This is called sin and it causes destruction.
• Redemption shares how Jesus came to defeat sin and death. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God made a way for us to be saved.
• Restoration gives us insight into why our future is bright. Jesus will restore all that is broken and will live with His people forever.

Jesus makes it very clear that God’s love for you is real and that He wants to have a wonderful relationship with you. Over the next few days, we want to spend time connecting with Jesus and entering into the story He has for us! A grand adventure of faith awaits!

Here are some things to do and think about today:

• Read John 3:16. What did God do because of His love for the world?
• Read Ephesians 2:8. How does God save you?
• Watch the prayer video, The Free Gift.
