His Purpose Our Privilege

In only a few minutes each day see how the story of Jesus' birth impacted the first century and still impacts us now

We may know how to 'do' Christmas with the schedule, the story and the customs practised so well they're automatic, but do we sometimes overlook its purpose? Have we heard the story so many times we miss the central significance? Can we obtain a passing grade on a multiple-choice quiz about the Christmas story without letting the message itself inspire us?

There was a very intentional purpose for Jesus' life on earth.

Now, because of Jesus, we have the privilege of knowing God personally, being forgiven of everything we've ever done and living hope-filled lives.

Let Jesus as saviour infuse your thoughts this Christmas as the scripture and the gentle questions draw you in to think more about the ultimate reason he came to earth.

This 28-day devotional is divided into four headings (hope, faith, joy and peace) with each building on the message that God is faithful and Jesus reconciles us with him. The reading for each day is short (less than 3 minutes), follows scripture and offers questions to consider about our lives and our faith.

These devotionals are written to be suitable for anyone, whether you are a life-long Christ-follower or are simply interested in the Christmas story.
