John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
DAILY READING; Acts 11:19-30; Joshua 13-14; Job 27
On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans ever to land on the moon. American President, Richard Nixon, along with millions of others, watched the historic event.
Nixon joined approximately 500 million people around the world in watching the astronauts leave their lunar landing module and step on the moon. After they planted an American flag on the moon’s surface, the astronauts spoke directly to President Nixon, who congratulated them on their historic mission. His phone was linked via satellite through the NASA control center in Houston, Texas.
Later on, President Richard Nixon stated regarding this tremendous feat, “The greatest event in human history occurred when man first put his feet on the moon”.
But Jim Irwin, also an American astronaut known for his Christian faith, after reflecting upon Nixon’s statement responded by saying, “The most significant achievement of our age is not that man stood on the moon, but rather that God in Christ stood on the earth”!
Truly, the greatest experience in human history is when God came down in the person of Jesus Christ and firmly planted His feet on this planet, to save lost humanity.
The story of Christmas is that God gave to mankind the greatest gift of all in the person of His son, Jesus Christ.
God presented to the world a Baby born in a manger in the little town of Bethlehem. This Baby brought light into a spiritually dark world.
God gave His only Son, born in a humble stable, to shed His blood on the cross as redemption for us. We were doomed to die in our sin, forever separated from God, but Jesus came and redeemed us.
At the heart of Christmas is the fact that God sent us the gift of a Savior. Without this gift we had no hope, but through Him, today every chain of captivity has been broken off us and we are able to serve and worship God in spirit and in truth. Through His blood we have been washed from sin and now have the victory over the devil, hell and the grave.
2000 years ago through the tender mercy of God, the Day spring from on high visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.
Christ has come into the world as the light that shatters every darkness in our lives.
Through Him we can have a new life of blessings, healing, prosperity, protection and abundance of every good thing.
At Christmas, we celebrate that the Almighty, Glorious God became a man, taking on the limitations of time and space, to come into the world to show us unmerited love, mercy and grace Through Him we have escaped eternal damnation and now have the hope of Heaven. This has made all the difference in our lives.
Truly, the coming of Christ to the world is the greatest event in all of human history.
PRAYER: Father, as I celebrate this season, please help me to stay focused on the real reason why Jesus came to the earth. Enable me to share Your love with those around me and to shine Your light for all to see in Jesus’ Name.
