The Reason for the Season

God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:9 HCSB

Babies bring hope and joy but Jesus brought life. To plan to send His Son as a baby was spectacular and generous. Babies are so vulnerable and dependant and the dangers are great, yet The Father sent to Son anyway. I am sure He sent legions of angels as well to watch over Him. The Father picked Mary and Joseph to parent Him, He knew what He was doing and He stepped into faith to do it.

The Father had a plan to redeem us. The Son was the plan. I am grateful for the plan, it did save me. Therefore, I can trust Him for the plan He has for my life. His ways are good.

As we approach Christmas let's renew our focus. Don't be caught up with the red guy. Keep your perspective in Christmas. This is the time we celebrate our Lord's coming. This is a special time for us. rejoice! Amen!
