My little children, I
am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we
have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and
not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. - 1John 2:1-2
The purpose of John’s letter is clearly stated. However, the
letter cannot prevent sin – nothing can (Romans 3:23). And that is why Jesus came.
To be the propitiation (the appeasement
of God’s wrath) for you
sin, brother and sister. I am praying specifically that during the Christmas Eve service on
Saturday someone else will realize the peace with God since the Gift is for “the
whole world.” Please join me in that prayer.
