The Gospel is presented as a mystery, revealed both to Jews and Gentiles, believers and unbelievers through Christ Jesus and through his people (us).

We are one in Christ. The things that separate the world, race, gender, wealth, and position do not separate believers.

Through Christ, God frees us from who we were and sets us up to be His agents in this world.

Christ is Lord over all and God gives him dominion over all.

Paul sets up the argument that Christ is the focus of our salvation.

Christ is King! It was promised from the Old Testament and confirmed by Jesus himself. He is King and his Kingdom had begun!

Christmas is all about the celebration of the message of Christ. He is revealed at His birth. He is revealed at his death and resurrection. He is revealed in our evangelism. Tell the world, He is coming!!!

Christ came to reconcile all creation to God to repair the broken world, to restore humanity, and renovate the heavens and earth. Christ is Here!

We can have joy in all circumstances because we have faith that God fulfilled his promises in Christ and will culminate all promises in the future with His return. Our Joy is a sign of faith because we know He is coming!

We who are God’s people are called to prepare ourselves and this world for the coming Jesus. This is how it was before His first coming and such it is for His second coming. A call to discipleship. A call to evangelism. Make Ready! He is coming!
