Advent Day 17 - Selfishness

The coming of the infant King means the gracious destruction of the kingdom of self and a loving welcome to the kingdom of God. 



For further study:  James 4:1 - 10


For parents and children:  Get your children to talk about what it means to be selfish.  Ask them if there is any place in their lives where they think they are selfish.  Talk to them about how sin causes us all to live for ourselves.  Tell them that the Christmas story is about God, in love, sending his Son to rescue selfish people from themselves.

"When we are angry, it's seldom because the people around us have broken God's law; most often we are angry because people have broken the law of our happiness."


For the month of December, there will be daily posts based on Paul Tripp's Advent book Come Let Us Adore Him.
