gone until next year…
But Jesus is still here with
gifts that will never end.

2. Living Generously
15 John testified concerning him. He cried out,
saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I
said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed
me because he was before me.’ 16 Out of his
fullness we have all received one blessing
after another - grace in place of grace already
given. 17 For the law was given through
Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ.
