Merry Christmas! Christmas is about Jesus coming to earth for a Divine Purpose. Christmas is about God wanting to give each of us a gift that is eternal!

In Matthew 1, we see the Christmas story from the perspective of Joseph. An angel comes to him and tells him the purpose of Jesus coming on that first Christmas.

The angel tells Joseph: “Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-22

This is the purpose of Jesus coming on that first Christmas. To save you and me from my sins! What a gift! What a miracle! What love God has for every single one of us!

The choice of what we will do with the gift of Christmas is now up to us!

We can refuse the gift of Jesus. We can reject the gift of Jesus. Or we can receive the gift of Jesus!

What will you do with the greatest gift that God has for you?

I encourage you to ask Jesus to come into your life today. Your life will never be the same again!

Merry Christmas to you today!
