The marvel of Christmas is that the Creator of the mountains took His first breath as a baby. The One who framed the universe assumed human flesh so He could save us – every one of us.
When Jesus took His first breath on earth, a loving promise of God was fulfilled. The Christ child whom the angels announced and the shepherds proclaimed had come to die – for us.
The baby in the manger was the image of the invisible God. And in Him we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins. This tiny baby in the manger is the mighty Creator of the universe . . . and our eternity.
Jesus sacrificed His entire life for us. Jesus was born for us, Jesus lived for us, Jesus died for us, Jesus rose again for us, and Jesus went to prepare a place for us so we can live with Him forever. We know we are to live our lives for others as Jesus did, so the question we each need to ask ourselves is, “Am I living for Jesus every day?”
“All things were created by Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:16
