Dear Partners and Prayer Warriors,
The
reply: “Even though the
actual date of Jesus’ birth is unknown, we believe December 25th
is the date set by man to celebrate His birth.”
As Doug put it, this was a 20 second conversation he had with a
co-worker. Doug also stated that he celebrates Jesus every day so the
actual date of Jesus birth was not the issue of importance, but that His
Coming was and is! This is where the conversation ended. In the matter
of a few seconds a pointed linear conversation changed from what date
Jesus was born into a more broadened
“why” He was born! A kind of paradigm shift from the important to
the Most Important!
Jesus came as a man – the Word in flesh. He became the ultimate blood
sacrifice for us on the cross. He defeated sin and death, took the key
s
from hell and then went back to sitting at the right hand of the Father.
To know from the very beginning
the sin of the whole world would be put upon His countenance and the
agony he would suffer hanging on a tree. To consider the love of Christ
to volunteer for that sacrifice is beyond comprehension to our mortal
souls. As we choose to
celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, take a moment to consider
ALL that His Coming represents. His last words before He gave up His
spirit were “IT IS FINISHED!” His birth
IS of the most importance to mankind!
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, remember He loved us first and still
loves us most.

“For
God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
For God did
not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world
might be saved through Him.” John 3:16-17 (NASB)
