Christmas – the most uncontaminated form of wholesomeness that mankind is capable of… in the purest form of divinity that Almighty God simply is.
There are always those that downplay Christmas, that say the birth of Jesus is not as important as His death and resurrection, but how can one be separated from the other? His birth was heralded by celestial beings, honored by kings, and predicted by prophets for centuries. Of course the ultimate goal was the act of paying for the sins of mankind, but the miracle that sprung from a quiet night in an animal stable set in motion the amazing God-conspired plan that was intended from the moment of creation.
This Christmas, may we pause in our business, in our shopping, in our visiting. As we watch our loved ones open presents and see their faces shine, may we remember the ultimately extravagant gift we were presented with on that silent, holy night. Who are we that we should be worth the life of His Son? But yet it remains that the baby's cry that shattered the silence in a Bethlehem stable that night is the voice of an immense and incredible Savior who was, is, and is to come. And yet who loves the lowest, the vilest, the most broken among us. Who came for them. Who died for them.
Who lives... for you.
