Why we celebrate Christmas!
Why do we celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas? What makes him so special? Why is history divided by his life into two eras; before and after Christ?
Jesus spent three years as a popular prophet, teacher and healer. He confronted the Jewish religious leaders, and called out their hypocrisy. Eventually they acted against him, and he was executed by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. But his disciples testified that he rose from the dead. This is the event that we celebrate at Easter, and that makes Jesus unique.
Today, many millions of people around the world worship Jesus as the Son of God, and find their lives changed for good as they commit to following him.
Jesus claimed that his teaching forms a foundation for a life that will withstand life’s storms and challenges. He offers acceptance, forgiveness, renewal and ‘rest for the soul.’
At Edge Community Church, we are a community of Christians who seek to follow his leadership, trust him for forgiveness, and grow as his disciples. We hope to serve our community in his name.
We invite you to join us, to learn more about Jesus. We welcome your questions!
