The love of God for humanity is great. No one who believes on His Son can dare to dispute this fact. Yet I am freshly captivated in the ways He expresses this love - especially through Jesus.
Our Father could have rescued us just by speaking the word "be saved", and it would be done. He could have reconciled us to Him through by whatever means He chose.
Instead, He chose to paint a masterpiece, and His Son was the brush through which He painted that picture. First in prophecy, then in walking it out through the birth of Jesus - Messiah and Saviour of all who will believe.
Today and tomorrow - on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, we choose to honor the day of the unveiling of this plan in the form of the infant Son. No one knows for certain the actual day of that birth. History did not record the birth of those born into poverty. But a day should absolutely be set aside to honor the birth of this One who is the embodiment of the Son of God.
Merry Christmas to all! Peace on earth! Good will to all men!
This blessed John and Cyndi. Thanks, Chris. Merry Christmas!
