For further study: Romans 5:6 - 11
For parents and children: Ask your children what they think would be the best news and then the worst news they could ever hear. Talk about how the Christmas story tells us the worst news ever (our sin) and the best news ever (the Savior came to purchase our forgiveness).
"This story is so amazing, so beyond normal categories for making sense of things, and so beautiful that it is hard to wrap the thoughts of your brain and the emotions of your heart around it."
"Good has to invade our world in the person of Jesus because there was simply no other way. There was no other way because our big problem in life is not familial or historical or societal or political or relational or ecclesiastical or financial. The biggest darkest thing that all of us have to face, and that somehow, someway influences everything we think, say, and do, isn't outside us; it's inside."
"Without the birth of Jesus, we are doomed to be destroyed by the danger that lurks inside us from the moment of our first breath."
For the month of December, there will be daily posts based on Paul Tripp's Advent book Come Let Us Adore Him.
