THE BIGGEST PARTY EVER!

 
Luke 2:13,14
 
"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!'"
 
Do we really get the significance of what took place in that humble stable? It was so significant that a great multitude of angels came celebrating, rejoicing and praising God. His plan had come to pass. He left His throne in eternity and arrived in this place called time, becoming human flesh, so that He could walk with us and show us how to live eternally. Jesus did not come to save the angels, look how they celebrated! He came to save us! How much more we have to celebrate than they!
 
Heavenly Father, our minds can't fully understand just how magnificent Your birth into humanity was. What an awesome plan to bring us back into the right relationship with You. You loved us that much, to give up the throne of eternity, to become one of us. Oh, Lord, open our hearts to the grandeur of this news so that we can celebrate even more than the angels did on that night. We pray in the name of Jesus who came to us as one of us that night, Amen.

REASON HE CAME

 
 
John 6:38,39
 
"For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me. And this is the will of Him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that He has given me, but raise them up at the last day." NIV
 
"For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that all of which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day." KJV



Christmas is a joyous celebration of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. However, this time is not just about the birth of Christ our Saviour. His birth was the hallmark of God's plan, a truly remarkable plan that unfolded as Jesus walked among men. Christmas is also about His exemplary life and the reason He came: To reconcile us to God.


Heavenly Father, we humbly bow in gratitude at the marvelous part of Your plan that took place that night at the stable in Bethlehem. Give us that joy and reverence that the shepherds experienced that night, but let it grow in our hearts throughout the years. We pray in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen.
