Let me corrupt your bad theology right here.

People look at Jesus and they're like, he's good God.

I love him so much.

He's so kind and gentle and lowly.

And God in the Old Testament was so mean and wrathful.

No, no, no.

The Bible says that Jesus was sent as the gate to the Father.

Colossians 2, 9 says that the full deity of God dwelt bodily, meaning that the entire essence of God dwelt bodily in human form in Jesus Christ.

Jesus is, and don't get it twisted and don't disrespect him.

Jesus is fully God and fully man.

Fully God, meaning he fully represented the image of the father, which is why Jesus said that I have came not to erase any stroke of the pen or to add on to anything, but to

But to fulfill the law.

So when Jesus prayed the price, the last part, we still have five finger gospel, I can't believe it, is to receive the gift.

And the gift, Pete, the word gift is I'm giving you something and you're going to take it.

Eat.

like i got you something that i think you're really gonna like and like i don't think i've ever had anybody give a gift back to me that would be nuts like imagine me giving you something for christmas and it's like imagine me giving you the best thing for christmas i'm my babe i put my heart my soul my intentionality into all this and then you open your life i don't want this

That actually happens to some people here on this earth.

But Jesus is the greatest gift.

Not only we just get on Christmas, but every single day for the rest of our lives.

So receiving the gift comes from a place of knowing that God loves us.
