If you’ve been feeling down on yourself, today’s message bears an uplifting word for you. We tend to be self-deprecating and hold negative opinions of ourselves. To some degree, we are right to feel this way. We were born into sin. We have chosen to live in disobedience. Yet, as Pastor Ray continues to lead us through the book of John, we are told that we are a gift from God to Jesus. Even in our sin, God finds such joy in our existence that He gifted us to His Beloved Son, Jesus.
