“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life."
--John 3:16(AMP)
The Holiday season may not be a festive, "warm and fuzzy" time for everyone for various reasons. Yet, it is a time for us to remember the birth of our Savior and reflect on the significance. Jesus is the Gift who came to give. Will you receive the Gift? Will you receive what He is offering?
With Christmas just about two weeks away, may I encourage you to read, meditate, and pray on the following scriptures each day?
Reasons Why Jesus Came
* Because God loves you! (John 3:16)
* To heal (Isaiah 53:5)
* To deliver (Galatians 1:4)
* To give Living Water (John 4:10, 7:38)
* To bring Light to darkness (John 12:46 and I Peter 2:9)
* To reconcile us to the Father (Romans 5:10 and 2 Corinthians 5:18)
* To give us words and wisdom that no adversary will be able to resist or contradict (Luke 2:15)
