The birth of Jesus Christ put into motion the beginning of God’s redemptive plan…a plan that would change the world forever. Ephesians 1:7 tells us, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, and the forgiveness of sins…” So think of it this way…Jesus was born to rescue us from sin, through His sacrificial death on the Cross. For our world was once a perfect place to live, but now it’s broken by sinfulness. But if we repent & trust in Jesus, and ask Him into our life, we can be restored, forgiven, and saved…becoming a new creation. Christ’s birth brought God to man; the Cross of Christ brought man to God and with it the gift of eternal life. So we should care about the Nativity…for it was there that God made a way, away in the manger…the greatest gift on earth.
