Even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

MARK 10:45

 

 

 

“Christmas is about the coming of Christ into the world.

Open your heart to receive the best present imaginable: Jesus giving himself to die for you and to serve you all the rest of eternity. Receive this. Turn away from self-help and sin. Become like little children. Trust him. Trust him. Trust him with your life.”
