Christmas is about the Gospel

Matthew 1:21 - "She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins"

Jesus came into this world on a mission. 

Before this world was created, Jesus agreed and willingly decided to come and be born to a virgin,  be the God Man, live the perfect life that we could not live and die the death we deserved; to save his people and call them to himself.

This is the Joy of Christmas......and all the rest of the year. It is the Gospel that we celebrate at Christmas, God becoming man to save His people. He had a mission, a mission from His Father and a mission on His heart because He loves us and the fame of His name.

During this season, let us soak in the truths of the Gospel. Let us remember as we celebrate this season that when Jesus was born, he left His throne in heaven to come and be born in a manger, a food trough for the animals. The King of Kings left His place to come and be with us, His enemies. He came to save, to love, to die.

Isaiah 53:5 - 

But he was pierced for our transgressions,

    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.

Let us worship the King because He is worthy and we are now because of His sacrifice!

Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You

Merry Christmas!
