He died to change their standing before God.

Jesus didn’t come to stop abortion.
He gave His life to bring eternal life to sinful people.

Jesus didn’t give His life away for the right to bear arms.
He died to set humanity free from sin.

Jesus didn’t walk among us to take away mental illness.
He became a man to redeem the world’s sinful nature.

Jesus didn’t come to talk about science or how we got here.
He came to talk about our need for redemption and to bring us Home.

Jesus didn’t arrive to herald a political revolution.
His concern was delivering us from the rebellion of our hearts.

Jesus didn’t come to tell us about healthy eating and natural medicine.
He came to heal us from our brokenness.

Jesus didn’t come to give us more faith.
He came because our faith is small.

Jesus didn’t come to show us how to “get right with God.”
He came to make us right with God.

Jesus didn’t die to give you prosperity.
Jesus died on a Roman cross because you couldn’t pay your debt.

Jesus came, walked among us and died to rescue humanity from sin.
When we don’t realize this, we make the same mistake as those who missed Jesus 2,000 years ago.

The stock market has developed wild mood swings.
Banks and automakers are begging for bailouts.
Unemployment is rapidly approaching double digits.

Also…

Healthcare is a mess.
The Middle East is in a constant state of unrest.
Fears of terror attacks are returning.

A glance at the latest headlines is argument enough that the world as we know it has gone over the brink and is headed in an uncertain direction. We are worried, afraid and angry. We are running out of money and patience. We are facing a time of deep and gripping confusion and our souls are unsettled.

It’s bad. It’s probably worse than we think it is. At this point in history, the world seems like a dark and terrifying place. We are without hope and without peace.

On the other side of history, light came into a dark world without hope, without peace and with little to give thanks for. A star brought news of God’s answer to our despair on the outskirts of Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. In the time it takes to deliver a baby, a new hope began to fill a waiting world.

Perhaps on this side of history– in the dire situation we find ourselves in— we will truly understand how much the Savior is still needed. His story is no longer confined to the ancient past. It is still relevant. It is still the hope to which a frightened and desperate world clings.
