    People had been waiting a long time for the Messiah to come. When he comes the voices that are heard are vital to understanding the event

    I think one of the things people these days find hard is having to wait. Delayed gratification is one of those things that have been forgotten in our age of fast food, instant communication and short attention spans.

    Just as Jesus’ parents lost him, we too can lose Christ if but only for a short time. That which we lose is that close personal relationship.

    “Finding Christ” Luke 2:41-52 (Read Text) “Finding Christ” implies that he has been or can be lost. And I want to make clear what I mean by that. I do not mean that a person can lose the grace of God once they have received it, but what a person can lose, because of their actions, is the ...read more
