😎🐫🎤 Merry Christmas and Christ’s peace and presence be with you. Driving between family visits on Christmas Eve, I spotted this license plate, JVS 5451. My immediate thought was…Jesus vs Satan 54 – 51. Christ wins by 3…Father Spirit Jesus! What a great affirmation that was on Christmas Eve.
Yes, Christ chose to physically come into our world and experience all that we experience. He chose to share in our joy, laughter, and love. He CHOSE to feel the crushing blows of our sin, that brought Him to His knees, under its weight. He CHOSE the striking blows of metal spikes being driven through His flesh, the thorns digging into his head, and the sword piercing His side. HE CHOSE THEM ALL because He loves, which is a love beyond our comprehension.
This time of year, we celebrate the birth of Christ, but what we are really celebrating is the salvation from our sins through His life and sacrificial death. As people ask you what you received for Christmas, offer them the following answer. In Christ’s birth I received an example to live by. In His sacrificial death and resurrection, I received forgiveness and life eternal. There is NO BETTER a gift than that. Thank You Jesus!
Bless others and be blessed.
