When we celebrate birthdays as holidays we celebrate what made that person notable, the accomplishments they achieved and the lasting changes they performed.
So, why do we always stop with Jesus lying in the manger at Christmas? Why do we still refer to ‘baby Jesus’ like He’s still cooing in Mary’s arms?
Jesus grew up! He became a powerful man who changed the entire world! He died on a cross and rose again so that mankind could be free from the snare of death!
Make sure you take note of that part on Christmas! Don’t just say the Savior was born… Tell the world that He was born, lived, died, and rose victorious!
Yes, Christ’s birth is a miraculous, awe-inspiring, beautiful story. But it’s more than just a story! It’s history! And it does not end at the manger. It didn’t end at the cross. It didn’t end at the grave either. It didn’t even end when Jesus ascended back into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.Jesus is coming back for His church! He’s coming back to bring His people to heaven with Him to dwell in the glorious presence of the Father.
Make sure you tell the whole Christmas story this season. The Savior that was born fulfilled His mission. We all now can have eternal life because He came.
Verse of the Day: And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Luke 1:31-33
