Happy New Year

I haven't posted in a few days as I have been extremely busy with other things. Next week I hope to begin posting on Daniel as we begin a new series a week from Sunday on that wonderful Old Testament book. In the past year we studied from Hebrews, Philippians, Jonah as well as the Lord's prayer. It was a great year and I learned much. Now I am looking forward to another great year.
Have a blessed and prosperous New Year and spend time with God and His Word.

iPad

The Bibles for Missions national board decided to go paperless so to make it work we all have iPads. Now these are fun, handy and more. How about the following? I am not there yet (and probably never).

Why Christmas Re-visited

A number of years ago I wrote a little booklet called Why Christmas. In that booklet I looked at the various people and events of that time and asked the question Why? If I was to do it again I would add another chapter. I willl outline it here.

Why Christmas?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1,14

Christmas is about God with us. The Creator of the universe became a man so that He could be our Saviour. As I said before He came at the right time. Galatians 4:4. He came in the right way, born of a virgin under the Law. It was not the work of man but a miracle of the Holy Spirit. Galatians 4:4. Finally, He came to do the right thing, He came to redeem us. Galatians 4:5.

Why Christmas? Christmas tells us that God became man to redeem us.
