Advent Day 5 - Broken

The incarnation of Jesus Christ pointedly preaches our inescapable need for radical, personal, and moral rescue and forgiveness.

For further study:  Ephesians 2:1 - 10

For parents and children:  Ask your children what we mean when we say something is broken.  Ask them if there are any broken things in their lives.  Get them to talk about what they think it means when the Bible says that sin has left all of us broken.  Then talk to them about the fact that Jesus came because we are broken and we cannot fix ourselves.

"It is humbling to accept that God came, in the person of Jesus, to live the way that we were created to live, but would never live, to die the death that each one of us deserves to die, and to rise out of the tomb, defeating sin and death because there was simply no other way."

"At Christmas we celebrate a God who is glorious in his abundant love and patient mercy."
