On Thanksgiving Eve, Bob discusses the good news of Jesus Christ. Of any and all things we have, it's the gospel story that should generate the most thankfulness. If not for the gospel story, we would still be dead in our transgressions with no hope. But God so loved us that he sent his only son so that we should not perish but have everlasting life. That truth should overflow our hearts with thankfulness. Jesus had to become one of us, he had to die, he had to be buried, and he had to rise again so that we could be saved. Titus 3 contains an incredible explanation of the "why" of the gospel message. He has blessed you with every spiritual blessing. Give thanks!

One of the things that truly separate us from all created beings are our emotions. And we want to know what to do with those trying emotions when they arise.
