1 John 3:5 You know that Christ came to take away sins There is no sin in Christ.

1 Peter 2:21-23 Christ suffered for you He gave you an example to follow So you should do as he did He did no sin He never lied People insulted Christ but he did not insult them in return Christ suffered but he did not threaten He let God take care of him God take care him God is  the One who judges rightly.

Acts 2:23 Jesus was given to you and you killed him With the help of evil men you nailed him to a cross But God knew all this would happen This was God's plan which he had made long ago.

Isaiah 53:6 We all have wandered away like sheep Each of us has gone his own way But the Lord has put on him the punishment for all the evil we have done.

Romans 3:24-25 People are made right with God by his grace which is a  free gift They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ God gave Jesus as a way to forgive sin through faith And all of this is because of the blood of Jesus death This showed that God always does what is right and fair God was right in the past when he was patient and did  not punish people for their sins.

1 John 2:2 Jesus is the way our sins are taken away And Jesus is the way that all people can have their sins taken away too.

1 Peter  2:24 Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross.

The story of Jesus

God sent His Son Jesus Christ to live on earth as a

completely sinless man Jesus was born as a baby
in Bethlehem. He grew up be a man without ever

doing one wrong things He never had a bad attitude

or an  evil thought. He  never said a bad word. He

was God He was perfect. But even though He was

perfect some people did not like Him. In fact because

He was perfect people who loved sin hated Him. So

they killed by nailing Him on cross. God allowed that

to happen because on the cross. Jesus took the punishment

for every person's guilt throughout history for every person

as if it guilt throughout history as if it

were His own. By dying He paid the penalty for our sin.

He 's Here  part 1

Everything was ready. The moment God

had been waiting for was at last. God was

coming to help his people just as he promised in

the beginning. In addition but how would he come

what would he be like? What would he do?

Mountain would have bowed down. Seas

would have roared Trees would have clapped

their hands. But the earth held its breath. As

silent as failing he came in. And when no

one was looking in the darkness he came.

There was a young girl Mary  who was engaged a man

named Joseph.

national hero who would out  who

would throw out  the hated Roman

legions and set up a Jewish kingdom

again If only God would send his promised

King to bring them freedom. Other in the

were more concerned about justice and

obedience to God's  anointed King but

they looked for a just and good ruler

rather than a great warrior. 

Zechariah was a priest and
