Our brothers and sisters from New Life Church visited the residents of Sunny Hill Residential Care Facility in Tama, Iowa on Tuesday evening to sing Christmas hymns & carols about the fulfilled promises of God to send us a Savior to rescue us from our sins.
The promise made in Genesis chapter 3 regarding the seed of the woman - the suffering Servant who would come to take upon himself the sin of mankind - was being fulfilled in the birth of Jesus 2000 years ago.
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Genesis 3:15
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:5-11
We sent along these small gift bags. Just a small stuffed animal, a candy cane, and two small cards: one a holiday-themed gospel tract and the other an offer to share God's word, the good news of Jesus Christ, and some contact information.
