Simplifying the Truth
People say that Jesus is the Lamb of God. But why a lamb specifically? It goes back to Passover. The parallels between Passover and the Crucifixion are astounding. God knew what He was doing when He instituted Passover.
Can a person lose their salvation? This question is a contentious one and not easy to answer. Ultimately only God knows the answer and the truth about where each person will spend eternity. But I do wish to present both sides of the debate and offer my own thoughts.
In this final post about Christmas Characters, I take a look at perhaps the most unexpected visitors that Mary and Joseph could have expected. The Shepherds and Magi (or Wise Men). What can we learn about these characters today?
Mary and Joseph. The parents of Jesus. Of all the characters of Christmas, I think these are two of first ones we think of and probably talk about the most – apart from Jesus. But don’t tune me out thinking you’ve heard it all before. You might be surprised what you learn.
Welcome to part 2 in my series Christmas Characters. Today I’m exploring the characters of Simeon and Anna. If you’re not sure who they are or how they relate to the Christmas story, just keep on reading!
