Mark Ordus
Jesus didn’t come to “fix” us, He came to RESTORE us.
Matthew 1:18-21
8 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
What is sin?
Luke 15:22
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calk and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
God doesn’t want to just fix you, God wants to RESTORE you.
