The Great Take-away -
God created a beautiful world
But we decided to take–away Him from the centre and put ourselves there instead
Everything became ‘mine’ and ‘us’ – minus! – and not for His glory and our good

3. The Great Divide -
Because we had taken ourselves away from God and become a minus….
there was now a great divide between God and us

4. The Great Equals =
Out of love God stepped into the mess we had made of His world
He became equal with us , born as a baby and walked among us as Jesus
He showed us how to live in tune with God

5. The Great Mystery - -
God then loved us to the uttermost by taking upon Himself all our minuses – all the take-aways of all time were loaded onto Jesus
He allowed Himself to be taken away for our sake
But mysteriously, a greater minus and another minus becomes ………

All that was taken away can become a plus
Love is added to us as we bring ourselves alongside Jesus
