I hope you all have a great day celebrating with family and friends. Just remember to remember the real reason for the season: God the Father gave up His only begotten Son to be given as a child to the world to die for the propitiation of our sins. Jesus Christ has appeased God's wrath and atoned for our sin, paying our ransom, so that we will not suffer eternal punishment in Hell.
As my pastor said last night, we need to remember
1. The who of the manger--Jesus Christ, the sinless, perfect God-man.
2. Why he was in the manger--He didn't just stay in the manger. He was born to die, so that we could one day surrender our lives to Him and He would save us. And He was born to reign over us forever in His eternal kingdom in the new heaven and new earth.
Thank you all for being faithful readers! I've updated the Special Pictures page with some new stuff, some of which you won't find anywhere else, so that's your Christmas present. : )
So in the words of Tiny Tim, "God bless us everyone!"
Merry Christmas, Christian! :D A very, very merry one, in fact. :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Christian! Loved what you had to say, as well -- Jesus didn't stay in the manger! He came and He showed us how to live and then died for our sins, and THAT is why Christmas is worth celebrating! Hope you had an awesome day full of God's blessings! :)

ReplyDeleteOh and Merry Late Christmas I coudn't comment on ur website yeasterday :( it wouldn't let me on my computer but it's better now !!!
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Late Christmas from me too!
ReplyDelete@ Brittini: I actually traced those pictures. I did it with tracing paper, you just can't tell because of the white background of my scanner. But thank you! And I think Luke makes his pictures by combining pictures from all over the place. But then he ends up with a great picture. He is talented. And so is Original Joe who does the same kind of thing all the time.
ReplyDelete@ Marvin, Jessa, and Jay: Thank you all for the comments. I hope you had great Christmases too.
Merry Christmas from CCC. Hope yours was great. (sorry bout being behind...)
ReplyDeleteHey, FJ (can I call you FJ?), thanks for your commment, and thank you for clearing up what you did on my last post. I didn't understand why the webmaster would say that he doesn't tell people to download, but he has a button that says DOWNLOAD right by the episodes. I understand now, thank you.
ReplyDeleteYup. No problem. (yes FJ is alright. Although, for some reason it made me think of fried jello...not sure why.....)
