God's Only Son Contest ** Sponsored by Gina McIntosh 

November 29,2023

To erase man's sins, Jesus Christ was born, Each year held in worldwide celebration, but the Bethlehem story is well worn. He died for the sake of our salvation. His death should be honored for this reason, each year held in worldwide celebration. Songs of praise sung to Him in the season for the life He gave, not as babe but man. His death should be honored for this reason. Jesus' life was offered as God's plan. His only Son would be resurrected for the life He gave, not as babe but man. To cruel torture He was subjected. Imagine the sorrow God was feeling... His only Son would be resurrected. With thanks to God's Son, I am kneeling. To erase man's sins, Jesus Christ was born. Imagine the sorrow God was feeling, but the Bethlehem story is well worn

I admire what you did with the Terzanelle form as you tell of the 'reason for the season.' Sometimes we forget that Christmas is a religious holiday, not a shopping and food-eating frenzy. Your words gave me pause as I think through the weeks ahead. Christ was born for our salvation, and I need to honor his birth. Blessings, Sara

I believe Christmas is for children, young children. The reason for the season is whatever one wants to believe it is. It's entirely too commercialized anymore. I just dont get the vibe. However, you are correct, the way I understand it. Jesus died for our salvation.

Very nice, Lin! Too many things well worn…this should not be one of them.

Your faith shines through in your verse Lin, A shame many have turned their backs on him. And others interpret his teachings as a way of commiting heinous crimes in his name. Good luck in the contest. Tom

Thanks so much, Tom. To me, Jesus' death, and the reason for it, is much more important than to portray him as a baby year after year. Because of his sacrifice, we have hope of eternal life. For those who disagree, please respect my belief as I do your right to yours.
