Christmas Day. The day chosen to celebrate the ultimate gift. The Creator of all things coming to earth to reside among us. Immanuel. God with us. The King of kings born among livestock, an innocent baby. The mission of that dear infant to die an executioner’s death, spilling his precious blood and dying between two criminals more than three decades later. For us. The perfectly innocent dying so that you and I, the completely guilty, may live. The ultimate gift, the ultimate mission, propelled by ultimate love.
Thanks and praise to our King Jesus!
