Christmas answers two great questions …

The coming of Christ into the world He created provides answers to two great questions:

QUESTION: When do you sacrifice?
ANSWER: When others have need.

“As the Scriptures say, ‘No one is righteous — not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.’ ‘Their talk is foul, like the stench from an open grave. Their tongues are filled with lies.’ ‘Snake venom drips from their lips.’ ‘Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.’ ‘They rush to commit murder. Destruction and misery always follow them. They don’t know where to find peace.’ ‘They have no fear of God at all,'” Romans 3:10-18.

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard,” Romans 3:23.

“For the wages of sin is death …” Romans 6:23a.

QUESTION: What do you sacrifice?
ANSWER: Everything.

“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners,” Romans 5:8.

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life,” John 3:16.

As disciples of Jesus, we’re to follow His example:

“For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps,” 1 Peter 2:21.
