Christmas is a celebration of good news of great joy for all the people.  “All the people” includes YOU.  God the Son, Jesus Christ, stepped into space and time and made Himself human in order that He might save you from your greatest enemies: sin and death.   The Christmas season is a time to solemnly reflect on your need for a Savior.   It is a time to celebrate His first coming at Bethlehem and receive His gifts.  It is a time to worship Him and prepare for His second coming.

The Bad News

  1. Sin is moral rebellion against the law of God.
  2. The judgment for sin is death.
  3. You have sinned.

Study Notes

Christmas is a celebration of good news of great joy for all the people.  “All the people” includes YOU.  God the Son, Jesus Christ, stepped into space and time and made Himself human in order that He might save you from your greatest enemies: sin and death.   The Christmas season is a time to solemnly reflect on your need for a Savior.   It is a time to celebrate His first coming at Bethlehem and receive His gifts.  It is a time to worship Him and prepare for His second coming.

The Bad News

  1. Sin is moral rebellion against the law of God.
  2. The judgment for sin is death.
  3. You have sinned.
  4. Therefore, you will die.
