Salvation Has Come

Week of December 23, 2022

“Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the world: “Say to the daughter of Zion, surely your salvation is coming.”  (Isaiah 62:11, NKJV)

At Christmas we commemorate the coming of the Christ into the world, but we must not forget that He has come to invade our hearts.  His advent in the flesh as the Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world means nothing unless we personally partake of His salvation.

To really embrace Christmas, Jesus has to inhabit our hearts with His Salvation.  The good news of Christmas is that Christ not only came into the world, but personally comes into the hearts of those who believe in Him.  Scripture says, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.”  John 1:12 (NKJV) We must not forget this truth.

The good news of Christmas is that Christ comes with His hands filled with grace and forgiveness.  “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11 (NKJV) If you want to experience true Christmas joy, Christ must be born in your life.  When He takes up residence in your life it becomes a Merry Christmas in the true sense of the word.

God Bless, Pastor Rick
