Transcript of Series - The GHOSTs Of Christmas Past - Part 1 - GUILT - 11-29-15
THIS IS THE BAD NEWS –
WE LIVE WITH GUILT
My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear.
My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins. I am bent over and racked with pain.
My days are filled with grief.
A raging fever burns within me, and my health is
broken. I am exhausted and completely crushed.
My groans come from an anguished heart.
(Psalm 38:4-7 – New Living Translation)
We all live with the guilt and shame of past
mistakes
We all live with the guilt & shame of broken
relationships
We all live with the guilt & shame of missed
opportunities
THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS GOD SENT JESUS
AT CHRISTMAS
The angel said to them, “Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all people. This very day your
Savior was born—Christ the Lord!
(Luke 2:10-11 – Good News Bible)
Joseph, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.
She is to become a mother by the Holy Spirit.
A Son will be born to her. You will give Him the name Jesus
because He will save His people from the punishment of their sins. (Matthew 1:20-21 – New Life
Version)
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us . . .
And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 – New Living Translation)

If our greatest need was healing,
God would have sent a Physician.
If our greatest need was knowledge,
God would have sent an Educator.
If our greatest need was information,
God would have sent a Scientist.
If our greatest need was money,
God would have sent a Banker.
But, because our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent a Savior!
