Christ Came!!!

Celebrating Christ, means we celebrate life. Christ came that all may have life, and have an abundant and full life. Christ came, so that mankind would no longer have to sacrifice animals to atone for their sins. Christ came to show us what Heaven is like. Christ came to show us how to live our lives. Chris came for a plethora of reasons. During December, Christian around the globe celebrate the fact that Christ came. Christ came down from Heaven. Christ came for each and everyone of us. Our lives can be fuller, happier, filled with joy and peace, all because Christ came.

Not only did Christ come, but Christ died. To celebrate the birth of Christ, we also have to celebrate and remember the death and resurrection of Christ. For Christ did not come to just live here for a few years and go home. Christ was on a mission. The mission was the salvation of souls. Salvation was accomplished through His death on the cross, and His resurrection. Christ came, and Christ accomplished His goals. Mission Accomplished! Christ wins, death loses, Satan is vanquished. Glorious. Christ came, and Christ won the battle.

Merry Christmas, and may the full glory of the season, all the meanings of Christmas be on your thoughts as we prepare to celebrate the miraculous birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Amazing love, God came down in the form of a babe. He was born, celebrated, lived, died, and lives again! Immanuel, God was with us then, in that manger, and He is with us now, in our hearts, guiding our lives and loving us. Loving us, fallen, broken, sinful, unworthy mankind. God came to us, because He loves us. Amazing love. We have SO much to celebrate this Christmas! I love this time of year.
