Three Important Dates

Scripture Reading:  Matthew 1:18-23

Focus Verse:  Luke 2:11  “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

There are three important dates in the life of every believer that is going to heaven.  The first important date is Christmas.  We are not sure if the date Christ was born was on December 25th, but we are sure that there was a day when he left heaven to come to this earth, and was born of a virgin.  If there were no reason for Christmas, we would not have the opportunity for heaven.  The second important date is Easter.  This is the date that Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ.  He paid for the penalty of sin that we could not pay for ourselves.  If there were no Easter, we would not have the opportunity for heaven.  This life and death of Christ is a sacrificial gift that God in is offering to every person on earth.  The third important date is the day you were born again.  This is the date that you received God’s free gift of Christ into your life.  Without this third important date in your life, you will not be going to heaven.  If you have never invited Christ into your life and accepted this free gift of salvation, what better time to do it than Christmas time.  These three dates are of upmost importance in your life.  If you leave out any one of the three, there is no salvation and no eternity in heaven.

*Extra Bible Reading:  John 3:3,  John 11:25-26, Isaiah 9:6, Luke 2:12
