IT’S THE CHRISTMAS THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

PHILIPPIANS 2:5-11

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

The old saying, “It’s the thought that counts” may have more truth to it than you think. The Christmas spirit begins in the mind of Christ and God, is carried out in the actions of the blessed trinity and is recorded in the Word of God for our edification. Consider:

 

1. He that was strong became weak so that we that are weak might become strong. [v. 5-7, 1 Co. 9:22]

 

2. He that was rich became poor so that we that are poor might become rich [v. 6-7, 2 Co. 8:9]

 

3. The Son of God became the Son of Man so that the sons of men might become the sons of God [v. 7-8, Heb. 1:1-3, 2:9-10; Jn. 1:12]

 

4. He that was alive became dead so that we that are dead might become alive [v. 8, 1 Th. 4:14, 5:10; Eph. 2:1]

 

5. He that was righteous became sin so that we that are sinners might become righteous [v. 8, 2 Co. 5:21]

 

If you have never been saved- accept Christ as Saviour and give Him the satisfaction of saving your soul [Isaiah 53:11]

 

If you are saved- give yourself to Christ to live for Him [Rm. 12:1-2]
