Christmas - the Word became Flesh and God reconciled man to Himself. The Relevance of the Scriptures part 4
Christmas brings out a time of year when family is important and a spirit of giving is in the air. Most importantly the season presents an opportunity to reflect on the greatest gift of all. The living breathing Word of God sent to us in Jesus Christ. The relevance of God's Word to you is just this. God sent his Son to live a life of obedience and Servanthood so that you could be a part of God's family. John 1 says "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten son of God, full of grace and truth.
It goes on to say "But as many as received him to them He gave the right to be called the children of God. "
The fact that God sent his Son in the wrapping of man and the humility of a manger to be a living example for life' journey, an obedient sacrifice for sin, and a victor over death is the greatest gesture ever known to man. In fact it the scriptures say it is the exclusive way to be forgiven of your sins and reconciled to God.
How busy is your Christmas season ? Too busy to quiet yourself and consider the real gift of God to you ? Take some time today and enjoy the message God sent in the form of his Son and how he came.
1. In a lowly manger
2. A vulnerable child yet completely God
3. Knowing he would one day die for our sins
4. Focused on having a relationship with you
5 A complete message from God with a living example of how to live out life to thee fullest
6. Knowing after his death for our sins, he would conquer death for all time.
7. That He would ascend to heaven to prepare a place for those who simply confess him as saviour and Lord.
Merry Christmas
