As we enter a new year, remember that Jesus is our Savior. Let’s keep our focus on him.
But Jesus came as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world. On the cross, he paid sin’s penalty. He bought us back from sin’s slavery. He freed us from sin’s prison.
As we move through the week of Christmas, we are focusing on Jesus, the One Isaiah described as the “Prince of Peace.”
