Don't miss it!

Hebrews 4: 2
For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.
 
The message of Jesus at Christmas, is almost too good to be true.
Who in the world, would send their one and only son, to pay a debt for a bunch of ungrateful people?
God would.
 
The message of Christ, is never of any value, unless we combine it with an element of faith.
You have to have faith, because this message of love just doesn’t make sense—in part because we’ve never met anyone like this, here on earth.
Jesus came from a totally different kingdom, that doesn’t operate at all, like the kingdom we live in.
 
Have you combined your faith walk, with the element of faith?
If not, there isn’t much that could make sense to you about the Gospel.
A person who has faith, can make perfect sense of the Father’s love.
 
It is entirely possible, that a person sitting next to you in church, has missed the Gospel message entirely
It’s generally because, they refuse to become like a little child.
Jesus wants us to have the faith, as a child.
Is that the kind of faith you have?
 
“Heavenly Father, during this season of Advent, help us to become like little children again.
Allow us to combine the Gospel facts we’ve learned over the years, with a greater measure of child like faith. Amen.”
