What’s it all about? Do you ever get so busy that this one question fills your mind? What’s it all about? Well, I don’t know about you, but right here at the beginning of our Christmas Season, I’m already close to asking this question.
So, when it comes to Christmas, what’s it all about? What’s the answer to this question?
- It’s about a miraculous birth – a virgin conceiving and giving birth to a child.
- It’s about a monumental gift – this little baby was the gift of the Father in heaven for all mankind.
- It’s about a momentous sacrifice – that the very Son of God would come to this earth, live a perfect life, and become that perfect sacrifice for our sins.
What’s it all about? In one way, it’s all about Jesus. It’s a celebration of His birthday. It’s a celebration of the giving of God’s greatest gift.
But in another way, it’s all about us – you and me. You see, we are the recipients of this precious gift of God.
- Jesus wasn’t just born. He was born for us.
- Jesus wasn’t just any gift. He’s our gift from our Heavenly Father.
- Jesus wasn’t just any sacrifice. He’s our sacrifice. He took our place on that cross.
Be sure and share this precious gift this year. Be sure and tell someone about what the Father has given each of us – a baby, born of a virgin, born to be the sacrifice for their sins, born to make us sons and daughters of the Heavenly Father, born to give us eternal life. Share the gift. Tell someone what Jesus has done for you.
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given.” (Isaiah 9:6)
