The Christmas Goodbye

Recently, some friends' one-year-old baby had to be evacuated by air to a children's hospital. Mom thought she’d be able to fly with the little guy, but at the last minute she learned she couldn’t go with him. Her cell phone photos tell the story: a little boy in the window of a chopper, crying for his mommy, and mommy watching with a broken heart as he took off.

After he came home, I told her, “You know, that day you shared a little piece of the heart of God the Father, when He saw His Son being taken away to a place He couldn’t go with Him.” The Bible describes God’s Christmas sacrifice this way: “God loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:10).

See, God loves you and me so much that He allowed His Son to be taken away and nailed to a cross to pay for the sins that keep us from Him, and His love demands a decision on our part. Will we pin our hopes on Jesus, or however politely, just tell Him no?

If you’d like to begin a personal relationship with Him, call us at 888-NEED HIM. Because God will never forget what you do with His Son.
