How to say Thank You to Christ for Christmas  (2 Corinthians 5:15) And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

 John 8:41) They [the angry Jewish leaders] said to him [Jesus], “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.”

Sacrifice in serving Christ  (2 Corinthians 11:24-28) Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. {25} Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, {26} I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my own countrymen, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false brothers. {27} I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep ; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. {28} Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches.

Saying Thank You with Service  (1 Timothy 1:12) I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.  (Romans 15:17) Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. Saying Thank You with Financial Giving  (2 Corinthians 8:7) …see that you also excel in this grace of giving. (2 Corinthians 8:9) For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor… (2 Corinthians 9:15) Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! Saying Thank You with my whole Life  (2 Corinthians 5:14-15) For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. {15} And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

CHRISTMAS Costs  The Cost of Christmas to Christ - His Incarnation and Death on cross  The Cost of Christmas to the world - Eternal life is offered for FREE  The Cost of Saying Thank You - (2 Corinthians 5:15) And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
