I've seen these thoughts many times over the years, most recently on the Christmas card from a friend:
Christ came to pay a debt He did not owe,
because we owed a debt we could not pay.
Jesus paid the price we owe for our sins (Romans 6:23), by coming to earth as a human child born of Mary, living a sinless life (He accumulated no debt of His own), suffering and dying on the cross as the once-for-all sacrifice for sin, and rising again as a guarantee of new life for all who believe in Him as their Savior through the proclamation of God's Word.
I hope you will have the privilege of sharing that good news with some of God's children this Sunday and each week, so that they, like you, can have a debt-free Christmas!
God bless you as you teach His children His Word!
