Sent: For God So Loved the World

Jesus Himself is the ultimate Christmas gift, and to receive Him changes everything. Before Jesus, worship was centered around the temple in Jerusalem and led by the priests. After Jesus, Peter calls the gathered believers a “spiritual temple” and a “royal priesthood” (1 Peter 2:5,9). That’s a high calling for us to live up to today.

John 3:16-17 (NLT) 16  “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17  God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

John 20:21 (NLT)  Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
