TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 25, 2019
Wednesday, December 25, 2019 at 8:50AM The Word Became Flesh
Today is December 25, 2019
Merry Christmas and welcome to your mid-week!
Christmas is about the incarnation - when the son of God became flesh. This incredible act of love was not just so that we would know that God knows us, but it was done so that the law of forgiveness and blood could be fulfilled.
As it says in Hebrews 9:22
Hebrews 9:22
In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Meaning, without the incarnation, Christ could not really die. And, if Christ could not die, then the cross is meaningless.
God, the omnipotent, made the change. He experienced all the hardship as a result of that choice so that we can once again be reunited with him, in love. And the harder it is for us to change and to experience change - whether oppositional, destructive, or for our good - the more we can empathize and appreciate what God did on Christmas.
Praise God for his great and wonderful gift! Praise God that the word became flesh!
God's blessing upon you this season and I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.
