Living as a Christian is a living expression of Jesus' love- life is the Messiah

Participating in the story of Jesus - to suffer is to sacrifice for people

2: 6-11 The Messiah Poem; Paul's quoting of Isaiah 45:23 - the one true God

Our true citizenship is in Heaven: follow Jesus' example - give thanks

Biblical faith - joy as an attitude people adopt: we rejoice anyway

Good news brings great joy - the birth of Jesus: our reward is great in Heaven

The LORD caused His people to leap for joy

Jesus is the risen King of the world - Christian is a profound decision for us to make
