Receiving Him

CHRISTMAS KIDS PROGRAM HAPPENING AT WFC for 12/24/23. Here is recorded Friday (Dec 22)'s communion service sermon. What the Angels say that first Christmas twilight, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” To you. He, Christ, was born unto You, to the Shepherds, "to His own," John says, and to all, to the world – John would say over and over in his gospel accounts. “God so loved the world.” And if He’s born for the Shepherds, for His own, for us – we must then receive Him. Jesus uses similar language when He says, "'This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.' And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, 'This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.'” (Luke 22:19,20).
