Remain in Jesus (7 of 10)

1 Timothy 1:15
I think most of us would agree... the best kind of Christmas gifts are gifts that keep on giving...
You can buy someone a steak, but a steak subscription is taking it to a whole new level. You can wash somebody's car, but a subscription to the car wash is way better! You can buy someone a jar of jelly... but is there anything better than a subscription to the 'jelly of the month' club? I think not!
Jesus came to this earth... over 2,000 years ago... as God's gift to mankind. But today I want us to see that God never intended for Jesus to be a one-and-done gift.
He NEVER said-'I'm sending my Son to planet earth so that you can hear about Him, and say a one-time prayer... asking him to forgive you of your sins and save you... He never said, 'I want you to have a one-time moment with me so that you don't have to spend eternity in hell.'
That's not what God said. Don't get me wrong... salvation through Christ was certainly a major part of why Jesus came on that original Christmas day.
In fact, [1 Timothy 1:15] says, ''Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners....''
But what so many people miss in the Christmas story is that...
Jesus not only came to save you. He came to walk with you, and lead you, and guide you and protect you. He came to give you joy and peace and wisdom and life. He came to give you power you don't have, and gifts you don't possess, and forgiveness that's required for salvation.
Jesus was God's gift to us. But listen... He was never intended to be a one-and-done gift. Jesus is the gift that keeps on giving!
Today I want to invite you to join me in [John 15]. In this passage, Jesus was explaining to His disciples what receiving that gift looks like... and how we can benefit from the presence of Jesus in our lives.
''I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he remo ...
