As the world now turns its attention to
Christmas because of gifts and parties, we should be turning our attention to
the Greatest Gift of All. That is the Gift of God that through His Goodness and
Mercy, He gave us His One and Only Son Jesus Christ that came to the earth in
the form of man. He was born of a virgin
and took on the likeness of man, yet was God in the flesh – God dwelling among
us - Emmanuel. The last few weeks have flown by in Sparks,
but we have been studying many important Bible accounts in the Old Testament
that have shown us the picture of Jesus and His Salvation for us. Jesus is the Deliverer from the penalty of
our sins – what a gift! It is free to
those who confess their sins, believe and allow Jesus to be the Lord of their
life. Tonight we learned how hundreds of
years before Jesus was born on the earth, His birth was prophesized in many Old
Testament. Not only was His birth
prophesized, but also His death and resurrection. Everything said of Him and everything He said
has come true – even some things He said are yet to be seen. We know those yet
to be seen things are true because He has proved Himself over and over. Your Sparkie is working hard on a mural
that tells this incredible true story.
Our Sparks key verse is John 3:16 – that is the greatest gift
to us. Have your Sparkie recite it for
you! You are welcome to join us anytime at Sparks! You can also check out the AWANA program at www.fbc.littletonil.org.
