Salvation from Sin (Audio)

Salvation from Sin (Matthew 1:18-25) Yearly Theme:  “Kindness is… Atonement” Series Title:  “The Kindest Gesture the World Has Ever Known” December 3rd, 2023   Follow along in the Bible App: http://bible.com/events/49162141   As we look to the birth of Jesus this Advent season, our attention is drawn to the reason for His birth.  Though it’s a cute story of a young couple betrothed, making the long journey by foot from Nazareth to Jerusalem to be recorded in the Roman census, and finding the only place to bed down to be a stable where Mary would ultimately give birth to the long-awaited Messiah, there is significantly more to the narrative.  Because the story has become so common in our culture, we all too often miss the point of the story for the commercialized babe in a manger.  And what was the purpose for the birth of Christ?  To save His people from their sins.
