Transcript: Christmases come and Christmases go, but Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree goes on forever; that bare, bedraggled, drooping little tree. But good ol’ Charlie Brown made something out of that tree. I guess you could call it the difference a little love can make.
That’s really what the Christmas story is about, because it’s ultimately a love story. The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Actually, we are in big trouble with God. We’ve pushed Him out of a life He made and run it our way instead of His. And away from God, life’s meaningless and eternity’s unthinkable. But this God we’ve pushed away loved us too much to leave us lost. That first Christmas, He sent His only Son to absorb all the punishment for all our sin, so we could be with Him now and forever.
There’s no better time than Christmastime to experience Jesus’ amazing love for yourself. If you’re ready for that, contact us at needhim.org, and see what a difference His love can make.
