simplicity

The basis of Christmas.
The Christmas story is simply a story of an event in history, that is good news. period.
We don't have to do anything with it. it's not a call back to the church, or a call to do better things with your life, or a call to become a better christian or to become more spiritual. It's simply......
good news.
Hear it,
and that is all.
God loved
God gave
We believe
We receive
What do we receive?...... eternal life.
What is eternal life?......... knowing God and having a relationship with him.
John 17:3- "Now this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent"
It's not just living forever and ever...... thank goodness. I don't want to live forever and ever.

This was my take on the message at church last week and I loved it! Simplicity.
