Well, Christmas has arrived, Mary Christmas, to each and every one of you who listened to

the podcast.

And today we celebrate Jesus of Nazareth, the incarnation of God and the flesh, a manual,

God with us.

So why did Christ enter into this world?

What was his goal?

For the answer I have persuaded Pastor John to read a chapter from his excellent book,

Seeing and Saviouring Jesus Christ.

He has.

He recorded it specifically for you, the APJ audience, and you are hearing this for the

very first time.

Here now is Pastor John reading chapter 10 from his wonderful book, Seeing and Saviouring

Jesus Christ, to answer the question, why was Christ born into the world?

But God being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when

we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, Ephesians 2, verses

4 and 5, let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive

mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

He brews for verse 16, chapter 10, the incarnate wealth of the compassion of God, the mercies

of Christ.

God is the wealthiest person in the universe.

He not only owns more than anyone else, he owns everyone else, and everything everyone

else owns.
