Christmas

by Pastor John Lin

During Joseph time, For the past 400 years there was silence. No word from God, no prophecy. But prior to that God would raise different prophets to prophecy about the coming of a Messiah, the chosen one, the anointed one, this man would be the saviour King who would rule the world bringing salvation and healing.

What is God trying to save us from? What is sin to begin with?

God, right at the beginning, He created humankind in his image to represent him on this earth. We were made to flourish in relationship with God and with one another and to rule the earth with him. But our world and our humanity became broken in this world because of sin. Sin is simply choosing our own way, our own will over God's plan and design for us. And this sin separated us from our created God and it fragmented our relationship with one another but God sent His son Jesus Christ to come as flesh as a baby to be born and later to die for the sins of the world. Three days later he would rise again, resurrect, having the power to overcome sin and death so that the world can experience what true freedom, hope and love is in Him. We get to experience that with God.

# Sometimes the very disappointment we face could actually be a divine appointment from God

Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in the mind of a man but it's the purpose of God that will stand.


# Sometimes the best decisions in life are also the hardest decisions
