Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.” - Luke 2:28-32 May you and your family have a restful and meaningful Christmas!

"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins...'and they will call him Immanuel' (which means 'God with us')". - Matt. 1:21,23 As we reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, let's remember that Jesus came to be "God with us" and to do an incredible work. He came to save us completely from our sins—not only from the penalty of sin through His substitutionary death on the cross, but also from the effects of sinful living by giving us an example he expects us to follow and empowers us to follow. This salvation is a complete package! When Jesus saves us, He saves us from both the penalty of sin and the fruit of sinful living. #Christmas #GodWithUs #CompleteSalvation (fb)
