Before you got married, you had in your head an idea of what you wanted your marriage to look like. You had all kinds of hopes and dreams and they were all good, positive things and you made plans according to this picture in your mind.
But things didn’t go exactly as planned.
This is not the first time this story has played out. God made plans for how he wanted his relationship with mankind to look.
Men, God intended for you to have a work to do, a woman to love and a will to obey.
Women, God created you to be a perfect helper for your man. So important to God that he uses the same word “helper” in the New Testament when describing Holy Spirit.
God planned for us to walk daily with him in the Garden and for us to be naked before each other and not be ashamed. And this form of nakedness is what we refer to today as true intimacy.
But things didn’t go exactly as planned.
That’s because he also gave us free will. When we chose our own way, sin, pain and death were the result. Then God introduced a new plan to bring us back to himself.
You have probably heard the Christmas story from Luke many times. Today we are going to go through not only this incredible story, but also the new plan of redemption that comes through Jesus Christ for all who would believe. Our Savior, our Redeemer, and our Lord.
So, as you join us today, grab your favorite Christmas beverage and settle in for a meaningful journey of hope.
Merry Christmas!
Johnny and Emily
