Imagine Christmas

December 21, 2006 (Weekend Service)

Imagine what it would have been like to be intimately involved in the first Christmas: Mary, Joseph, the angels, the shepherds. Imagine what it would have been like to be present for any of Jesus’ teaching or to be witness to any of his miracles. Imagine what it would have been like to watch this man Jesus being led to a horrendously painful death for your sin and the sin of the world. Scripture tells us we have a God who is able to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine. Through Jesus Christ, God offers to all the gift of life—a life that is full and free and forgiven and forever. Imagine that.
