God is love (1 John 4:8). God’s love is fully revealed in
Jesus, who became man. We celebrate this God became ‘man’ in Jesus on Christmas
day. The Bible says,“.. the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son
from the Father (John 1:14).
John
called Jesus “the Word” here and said that the Word (God Jesus) became flesh (man)
and dwelt (lived) among us (Disciples and believers), full of grace and truth;
we (Disciples) have beheld(seen/witnessed) his glory, glory as of the only Son(God
the Son, Jesus) from the Father (God the Father ).
This God the Son becoming man is the displays of God’s love
for us, as John says, " “For God so loved the world that he
gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.” (John
3:16-17)
God love the people of the world so much that He sent His
only Son Jesus to the world. God sent Jesus as man that any person believes in
Him may be saved from eternal punishment but have eternal life.
Jesus was born, died and was risen from the death. In His
death, Jesus has taken the punishment we deserved for our sins. Jesus paid the
price in full, and we are free from condemnation when we accept that free gift
of God’s, Salvation through Jesus Christ. "But God demonstrated His own
love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"
(Romans 5:8).
Therefore, celebrate Christmas for the glory of God.
God bless you.
