Divine Simplicity Focus on the things that matter…sweep aside the things that don't.

Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, is quickly approaching. As we prepare for a merry celebration of his birth, let us not forget that he came to us as a Savior, destined to suffer agony and death for you and for me. Jesus is the “lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). God did not send us his only begotten son out of pity for mankind. He was sent because only God’s son was a sufficient sacrifice to take away the sin that dwells in all of us. “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). Everyone needs a savior. I hope you enjoy this reblog from December 21, 2017.
