Do you know what it’s like to live in darkness? It can be scary, lonely, and confusing among other things. Before Jesus was born, humanity was living in darkness, searching, and hoping for a sustainable light.
Everyone has been blessed with some goodness in their life. The birth of Christ enabled all of us to be reborn. This is not something that can be done through human plans or striving.
God created the whole world, created you and me, and then birthed Himself as a human child to walk among us. He did not do this for His own benefit, but for your relationship with Him.
Want to know who God is? All you have to do is look to Jesus. He is God incarnate. Everything He is is wrapped up in the person of Jesus Christ.
God is too infinite for our finite minds to grasp completely. The intricacies of His being are so wondrous we can never fully understand them, but we know more because He sent His only Son to walk among us. Jesus is God made visible.
God could have chosen to send Jesus as a fully grown man, but that wasn’t part of the plan. In order to fully understand you and me He had to come and live among us and be one of us.
Jesus is the light of the world and can never be extinguished. From the moment He came on the scene, you no longer have to live in the dark—feeling around to find your own way.
God uses ordinary you to do extraordinary things because of the birth of Jesus. Can you even fathom the awesomeness of God?
