It can be easy to get caught up in the Christmas season and miss out on the reason we celebrate. This video is a funny reminder that the baby born in the manger is the same Jesus who ultimately died for our sins. He’s not just the reason for the season or the reason for cool bracelets. Jesus is worth celebrating all year.

He was placed with his mat in a room full of people listening to Jesus teach, hoping for a miracle. When Jesus said that the paralytic man’s sins were forgiven, he wondered how it was possible for Jesus to forgive sins. The man realizes that only God can forgive sins and heal his legs, and he knows that God can change the world. This video is based on Luke 23:34 and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a sermon illustration on forgiveness.

Motive is everything. Do we live life for ourselves or for God’s glory? Are we at church to enjoy a social club or have we come to worship our Maker? We need to continually check our motives and be mindful of what is driving us. Life is meant to be lived as an act of worship.
