LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO OUR SAVIOR AND COMING KING JESUS CHRIST, WHO WAS BORN TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO IN A HUMBLE MANGER IN BETHLEHEM AS GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S MOST GRACIOUS AND WONDERFUL GIFT TO A WORLD THAT IS BROKEN AND IN NEED OF REDEMPTION AND HEALING AND PEACE AND LOVE. JESUS WAS BORN AS A TENDER BABY IN A MANGER WHO WAS HERALDED BY A HOST OF HEAVENLY ANGELS, ANNOUNCING PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TO MEN AND WOMEN. GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAD THE MOST AMAZING PLAN OF SENDING JESUS ON A MISSION TO HEAL, REDEEM AND RESTORE ALL THE THINGS ABOUT US THAT ARE BROKEN AND IN NEED OF HEALING AND REDEMPTION, AND THAT MISSION INCLUDED, MOST AMAZINGLY, JESUS DYING ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS AND MISTAKES, SO THAT, THROUGH FAITH IN WHAT JESUS DID FOR US ON THE CROSS, WE WOULD BE FORGIVEN, REDEEMED AND HEALED OF OUR BROKENNESS AND MADE FLAWLESS IN THE EYES OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. FOR GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE SACRIFICED HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST, SO THAT ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. JESUS CHRIST IS OUR SAVIOR AND LORD, AND JESUS AND OUR HEAVENLY FATHER HAD AND STILL HAVE AND WILL ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH COMPASSION, LOVE AND CARE FOR US -- FAR MORE THAN WE CAN EVER IMAGINE OR COMPREHEND -- THAT THEY SACRIFICED JESUS' LIFE ON THE CROSS SO THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO CARRY OUR SINS AND BURDENS BY OURSELVES AND THEY COULD BE PUT TO REST, FOREVER, AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS THROUGH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND JESUS' AMAZING SACRIFICE. AND WHAT IS EVEN MORE AMAZING IS THAT GOD OUR ALMIGHTY HEAVENLY FATHER BROUGHT JESUS BACK TO LIFE THREE DAYS LATER, ON EASTER SUNDAY, TO BE WITH US AND CONTINUE TO CARRY OUR HURTS, PAINS AND BROKEN-HEARTEDNESS EVEN ONTO THIS VERY DAY IN THE CURRENT YEAR OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST 2016. JESUS IS ALIVE TO THIS DAY AND HE CARES DEEPLY ABOUT THE BROKENNESS THAT IS GOING ON IN OUR WORLD AND HE CARES DEEPLY ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND ALL YOUR HURTS AND PAINS. LORD JESUS CARRIES YOU IN HIS LOVING AND EVERLASTING ARMS WHEN YOU ARE BROKEN-HEARTED AND HURTING, AND HE HEALS, SAVES AND REDEEMS YOU, AS YOUR SAVIOR, THROUGH YOUR FAITH IN WHAT JESUS LOVINGLY AND COMPASSIONATELY DID ON THE CROSS FOR YOU. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE, AND JESUS WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU OR FORSAKE YOU BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU FAR MORE THAN WILL EVER COMPREHEND. YOU ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS AND DEEPLY LOVED CHILD OF OUR GRACIOUS AND LOVING SAVIOR AND COMING KING, JESUS CHRIST, SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. IN JESUS' BEAUTIFUL, HOLY, COMPASSIONATE AND MOST OF ALL LOVING NAME. LOVE ALWAYS, DIANE
