For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. — John 3:16
God wants us to have life! Real life. Life that lasts forever with him! That’s why God the Father sent Jesus. That is why Jesus, God the Son, left the Father’s side and came to earth. That is why Jesus endured the Cross with all of its humiliation. That’s why Jesus rose from the dead in triumph over satan, sin, death, demons, and hell. God loved us with an everlasting love in Jesus! God loved us with the greatest gift of all time. What other Christmas gift can compare? So, “Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord!” the greatest gift of all!
