Jesus is a Great Savior
Last week we celebrated Jesus coming in to the world. This was a glorious event that was anticipated by believing people for centuries. Christ’s coming was the fulfillment of a great promise made by God.
Do you know why Christ came into the world? The Bible says that Christ came to die for sinners. Christ came to give His life as a ransom for many. Christ came to seek and to save sinners. Christ came to destroy the works of the devil. Christ came to make the Father known.
While many people, if not most people, in the world acknowledge that Christ came, many do not know Him as their Lord and Savior. He died for sinners but sinners must repent and confess Christ as Lord or they will die in their sin.
It is pointless to celebrate Christmas and not know Christ. I encourage you to trust Him with all your heart. He is a great Savior.

It was very convicting to read the part where you wrote, "...but sinners must repent...." Repent is such a small word, but it is often very difficult to understand and even more difficult to do. Nevertheless, we all hold some responsibility for how we live our lives, and I'm comforted in knowing that I can call on the Holy Spirit to continue the good work in me which God has started.
I'm so thankful that Jesus came to save sinners and not just the "good" sinners ( someone we met this week believes this). Praise the Lord that He loved us when we were still sinners and that we can say "and such were some of" us.
