  6. Our Present Jesus

  7. Present is one of those words that has two different meanings: First Meaning: A gift from one person to another.

  8. Present is one of those words that has two different meanings: Second Meaning: A person is here in the room. Like a roll call at school. When your name is called, you answer, “present.”

  9. First: Let’s look at Our Present Jesus – The Gift Did you know that Christmas really is about giving presents?

  10. The true meaning of Christmas is that God freely gives wonderful presents to people, starting with giving His only Son, Jesus.

  11. Jesus is our Heavenly Father’s Gift to All People 'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.' John 3:16

  12. “We should thank God because of the very great gift that he has given to us. His gift is so great that no words could ever describe it!” 2 Corinthians 9:15

  13. With Jesus, God Gave Us Salvation A New Life Forgiveness Heaven Relationship Clean Heart Holy Spirit Assurance

  14. “And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn..” Luke 2:7

  15. Jesus Was Even Wrapped Up Like a Present Swaddling is an age-old practice of wrapping infants in bands of cloth so that movement of the limbs is tightly restricted.

  16. He was swaddled with more than cloth,He was swaddled with human flesh. “All of God lives in Christ's body.” Colossians 2:9 “So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us.“ John 1:14 “But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing. He was born to be a man and became like a servant.” Philippians 2:7

  17. Often, children rip off the wrapping to reveal the gift within.

  18. The BODY of Jesus needed to be torn to reveal the gift of salvation for all. “But he was wounded for the wrong we did; he was crushed for the evil we did… and we are healed because of his wounds.” Isaiah 53:5

  19. Look for Our Present ***Jesus*** at the foot of the tree… No, not this tree…

  20. This Tree “They put him to death by hanging him on a tree” Acts 10:39 When we humble ourselves, kneel at the foot of the cross and ask forgiveness for our sins, we can receive our gift.

  21. Jesus will never get broken or wear out! “Don’t store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them. Instead, store up your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy them, and thieves cannot break in and steal them.” Mat. 6:19-20

  22. A Gift Must Be Received

  23. “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12

  24. Remember our second meaning of present? Second Meaning: A person is here in the room. Like a roll call at school. When your name is called, you answer, “present.”

  25. Jesus is a Gift from God, but he is also ‘Our Present Jesus’ because He is right here with us. “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.” Ps. 145:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Ps. 34:18

  27. Is Jesus Speaking to You? “They said to each other, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?’” John Wesley Said: “…the preacher was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ and I felt my heart strangely warmed.” Jesus makes His presence Known by a small voice!

  28. What is the Sinner‘s Prayer? This is a prayer we can pray when we are ready to admit we are sinners and need Christ’s forgiveness. It must be prayed with faith in our hearts and a readiness to have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.

  29. A prayer of faith  Pray this prayer if : • If you never have before • You have in the past, but you think it would mean more today • You have been walking afar off and you want to come back • You want to set an example & show others how it is done • You just like to give your heart to Jesus again & again Faith

  30. We Declare Our Faith Publicly Because Jesus Declared His LOVE Publicly “If you stand before others and are willing to say you believe in me, then I will tell my Father in heaven that you belong to me.”Mat 10:32

  31. Three Important Questions Do you want to know Jesus as your Savior right now? Do you believe He died to save you from your sins & that He rose from the dead? Do you believe that He is here, waiting to save you right now?

  32. The Prayer of a Sinner Turning to Jesus • Dear Jesus, I know that I have sinned against You and that my sins separate me from You. • I am truly sorry. • Right now, I turn away from my sinful past . • Please forgive me, and help me to keep from sin. • I believe You died for my sins. • I Believe You rose from the dead, you are alive, and you hear this prayer from my heart. • I invite You Jesus to be both my Savior and the Lord of my life. • I want You to rule my life from now on.

  33. “But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God.” John 1:12
