True Meaning of Christmas... via @jayjayasuriya #MerryChristmas

he historic record of the birth of Christ can be found in Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 2:1-20.

Unlike any other baby, the one born that night inBethlehem was unique in all of history. He was not created by a human father and mother. He had a heavenly pre-existence (John 1:1-3, 14). He is God, the Son—Creator of the universe (Philippians 2:5-11). This is why Christmas is called the incarnation, a word which means “in the flesh.” In the birth of Jesus, the eternal, all-powerful and all-knowing Creator came to earth in the flesh.

Why would God do such a thing? Why would he come as a baby, instead of appearing in power and majesty? Why make himself a true man and live among us, when he knew full well how terribly he would be treated?

The Bible says…

“This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:9-10).

“…the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

“To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).

Decide what you will do with Christ’s gift…

Accept Jesus - I want to accept Christ’s gift of eternal life, but I don’t know how.
Reject Jesus - I don’t believe any of this. I’m still skeptical.
Rededicate - I am saved, but I have not been living like a follower of Jesus. I want to rededicate my life to him right now.
