It's Christmas Eve and Christians around the world are celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The God of the universe chose to save mankind from sin by coming to earth in the form of a little baby. God entrusted the care and nurturing of Jesus to Joseph and Mary, ordinary people. Jesus could have been born to nobility, he could have been raised in a palace, but God wanted him to experience life as most of us experience it. He wanted Jesus to be fully man and reveal His righteousness and holiness to common folk. How amazing is that?
As you celebrate the birth of Christ this year, offer praise to God for His amazing gift. We have done nothing to deserve the gift of salvation and yet, God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Jesus came to earth for the purpose of dying for our sins. He is worthy of our praise! We are indeed a blessed people because of Christ's coming!
Merry Christmas!
