Over 2000 years ago, the savior of the world who was spoken of by the prophets throughout the bible came to Earth as a baby boy and lived a human life. The powers that be passed edicts to kill all the Hebrew boys at the time and yet God’s plan to bring the Messiah to Earth could not be stopped.
Christ grew up under Roman rule and endured terrible persecution, racism, oppression and the worst forms of human cruelty. In spite of this, He taught us and demonstrated the unconditional and unfailing love of the Father.
He went to the cross and suffered torture and death as a sin offering for all of mankind. He rose again on the 3rd day and defeated death and the evil schemes of the enemy. Now, we have the opportunity to choose Him, to invite Him into our heart and choose the path of everlasting life and victory over sin and death.
May this Christmas be an extra special season for you and your family as you reflect on how the amazing love of the Father!
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3: 18-19
