And the Grinch, with his
Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and
puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without
ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without
packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and
puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought
of something he hadn't before.
What if Christmas, he
thought, doesn't come from a store.
What if Christmas,
perhaps, means a little bit more.
~Dr. Seuss

Story: |
 |
Man
in Sin is separated from God
The figure on the left represents every
person like you and me. The darkness represents
our sin. Sin is anything that God tells us not to
do.
The Bible says, all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Our sins separate
us from God.
The heavenly radiance on the right represents God.
God is perfect and without sin. God loves us. God
does not want us to perish, but to have
everlasting life. Our sins must be removed in
order to have eternal life with God. |
| Christ on the
Cross
|
|
| God
loved us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to
earth as a man. God made Jesus die on a cross to pay for
our sins with His blood. He took our sins into His body on
the cross so that we could come to God.
|
(I Peter 2:24, 3:18)
The Bible says, God demonstrates His own love for us, in
that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:8)
The Bible also says that, God so loved the world that He
gave His one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes
in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
(John 3:16)
|
| The
Tomb
|
 |
| Men
buried Jesus in a tomb. They rolled a huge stone in
front of it. The soldiers guarded the tomb. |
| CHRIST
IS RISEN
|
|
God
sent an angel to roll away the huge stone and to scare
away the soldiers.
God raised Jesus from the dead!
Soon afterward, God took Jesus back to heaven
Jesus has paid the price for our sins, and Jesus has
conquered death.
|
| The
Cross is the Bridge to God
|
|
|
Jesus
is the only way we can come to God. Jesus says in the
Bible,
(John
14:6 KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Through Jesus, we can be forgiven of all our sins and be
with God forever. But just knowing about these things is
not enough! We must choose to put our faith in Jesus - to
trust in Him to save us from sin.
If you do not take the step of trusting in Jesus, then
your sins are not removed!
(Heb
4:2 KJV) For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as
unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not
being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
|
| The
Choices: Heaven or Hell
|
 |
|
The
Bible says that whoever believes in Jesus has eternal life
and is not judged.
But
whoever does not believe in Jesus has been judged already
and the wrath of God remains upon him! (John 3:16, 18, 36)
The penalty for sin is death, but eternal life through
Jesus is a free gift from God.
What
choice will you make?
Trust in Jesus Christ to be forgiven and have eternal
life.
(In Heaven Or reject Jesus Christ and suffer
eternal punishment in fire in Hell)
