Send us a textThanks for listening this morning! We are all busy getting ready for Christmas. Whether you are one who gets ready in November or someone who waits till the last minute, we are all preparing. What if you didn't know when Christmas would come? When company would show up at your door? We would be ready as soon as possible, with that uncertainty! What is the meaning of Christmas? In the church, it's all about Jesus coming. And he isn't just coming as a cute baby in a manger. His coming is signaling his judgement. He will show justice, a fair measuring of our sins. Can we tip the scales in our favor? Of course not. We could never do enough good to balance that scale. But, luckily for us, Jesus came, and HE levels that scale for us. HE came and died for all of our sins, making us able to have eternal life in heaven. And... he WILL NOT CHANGE. This is not a promise we need to worry he will go back on. He came and now we know that we are forgiven forever. Malachi 3:1-7b“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.5 “So I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers,adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,” says the Lord Almighty.6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
