This week was one of my favorite (but not the #1 favorite) weeks of the year. I LOVE Thanksgiving. I love roasted turkey. I love fried turkey. I love my wife's dressing with giblet gravy. I just love Thanksgiving. But now it is over...
And because it is over, it is time to start thinking about another of my favorite weeks of the year - Christmas. I love Christmas for so many reasons, but none more than the fact that we celebrate the cominging of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ... the Messiah. The Messiah did for me what I could not do for myself. He restored my relationship with the Creator.
Although Almighty God created us with a perfect design for a perfect relationship, we destroyed that relationship. How? By trying to be like God ourselves.
As a result, all of our relationships are distorted. Our relationship to ourself, our family, each other... but most importantly our relationship to God. What's more... we can't fix them. We can't fix our relationship with ourselves. We can't fix our relationships with our families. We can't fix our relationships with each other. We are lost.
We all need to be saved.
We all need the Messiah.
Jesus is that Messiah. Won't you place your faith in him? Allow him to reconcile you to God.
