For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. – John 3:16
We will often fail to live out our faith in Jesus and stumble in our walk with Him. We won’t always love Him most, love others best, and love rightly all the rest. Instead, we will make ourselves the center of our lives, make self-serving decisions as we plan our lives, and ultimately make a mess out of our lives. That. Is. Why. There. Is. Christmas. Christmas is about a gift of God’s Son, a gift of forgiveness, a gift of transformation, a gift of eternal life, a gift of happiness in God. Christmas is about grace… Forgiveness for when we have said “yes” to sins committed, freedom to say “no” to sins not yet committed, and favor to experience eternal pleasure where no sin will ever be committed again. There is grace for us. God’s grace. Grace that is greater than all our sin.
