Jesus Brings Purity

8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.

Matthew 5:8




More than 2,000 years ago, Jesus was born on this very night in a little town called Bethlehem. With his glorious birth came the opportunity to be transformed from the inside out as a result of the awesome sacrifice that he made on the cross for you and me. Don’t miss the miracle this Christmas of a relationship with Jesus Christ where he would come into your heart of hearts and begin to transform you into the beautiful and pure creation that God originally intended for your life. The journey that starts with the birth of Jesus is all about getting to know your Creator so intimately through a relationship with His Son that you will begin to see God as He opens your eyes to His love and perfection that is all around you. As you draw near to him you will begin to see His grace and power in the lives of others; in the beauty of His Creation; in the small miracles that happen every day as a result of His love that most people miss completely. A headline on the front page of the paper this morning reads “as many struggle this Christmas, the story of Christ is a reminder that we are not alone in this mess.” This is a small miracle, that a major newspaper would speak the name of Christ on the front page in today's politically correct world, and it is so refreshing and even amazing to me. You are not alone this Christmas – God is here, He has come to redeem you as His son or daughter, and if you let Him, He will make you pure and holy from the inside out in such a way that you will see God and you will know and experience His love and He will hold you in His arms, forever.
