If someone was to ask me what Christmas was about, I’d say
love.
The love that God had for his children was so enormous that
he sent his Son to us.
To live, to teach, to die.
And then defy death after three days and rise again.
When I think about God sending Jesus to the earth knowing
that he would be rejected and persecuted, it is hard for me to get my mind
around. I don’t think I could send Bethany
to a place where she would be disliked, must less rejected and put to
death. Yet God loved me, and you, and
your neighbor, and your neighbor’s cousin, and everyone so greatly that he did
it. He did it willingly so that we could
be with Him if we are a Christian.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on
his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on
and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.
