Series: Sermon

The rest of the guests will begin to notice, and they will be talk. Was it bad planning? People’s tongues will wag, and it will embarrass the family for years.

One passing judgment shows there is something wrong.
Such a person can’t be trusted. Getting basic things wrong, the Holy Spirit is not speaking through him.

God is saying; we are not forsaken nor left abandoned in the ruins of our sin. He has made a way for us to rise from the rubble, to become His beloved children.

As citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem; with our children’s children and countless generations before us, we will surely enjoy Jesus’ blessings of eternal peace.

Jesus did not merely line up with sinners; He took our place, standing alone beneath the Father’s just wrath against sin. He bore our sins in His body on the cross, suffering the penalty of death that we deserved.

Most shocking thing is that Jesus, the Messiah joined them. He stood beside them in their rejection, just as He stands beside us too. Jesus was baptized for us.

We need times of quiet and peace—times to grow, times to become strong.
We need times to learn wisdom and grow close to God. Jesus gives us those times, too.

God’s grace is sufficient for us; a good gift of God, which comes to us through Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself is “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God”

Good and evil so intertwined isn’t bearable by anybody.
God Himself can’t stand it. So He came into this world at the first Christmas—to put an end to these horrors and rescue us all.
