from the ark to the manger

ptr. jojo fernandez

main passage

genesis 6:8

the truth – humanity is sinful, God is holy, grace is necessary, and salvation comes by God’s initiative

just as noah stepped into a renewed world after the flood, those who are in Christ are promised new creation life

christmas, not the season, not the tradition, not the celebration, but christmas that declares God has made a way – once through an ark of wood, now through a Savior born in a manger – Jesus Christ

if you have never placed your faith in Christ, this christmas is your moment to enter the ark
turn from sin
trust in the Savior
receive the grace that God freely gives

if you are a believer who has grown complacent, who has priorities other than Christ, let christmas renew your awe and obedience
step again into grateful worship and faithful witness

the door of grace stands open
– but not for long, not forever, but now!
