Being that Christmas happened to fall on Tuesday I thought I would make a post relating to Christmas. I'm sure most of you have heard the Christmas story and how its not about the gifts or songs, but about Thee Gift given to us by God Himself.
The interesting thing about Jesus coming to earth is the fact that He was God. God chose to send Himself to earth in Human form. Jesus could have just showed up in a mist or He could have just fixed the world without ever showing up. However, God had a better purpose and plan. God made us able to make our own choices, so the only way for us to still have the choice to follow Him is for us to choose God over evil. Not having perfectness forced upon us, but Jesus giving us the ability to choose life by His death.
God put Himself, Jesus, under restrictions that we as humans are under here on earth. Jesus could have just not followed the rules of earth and fly, walk on water, and go through walls. However, Jesus did do some of these actions because we humans are stubborn and need to see to believe. Sometimes words are just not enough.
Another thing is Jesus had to come to earth and save us. If God just told us to believe in Him to be saved we wouldn't know the extent of his love. Jesus had to die. The Death of Jesus is so powerful. Without that power we would not know how much God loves us and we would be less willing to become His children.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave is one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
The Birth of Jesus was an interesting happening from start to finish from the virgin marry, to the shepherds, to the wise men. Then the purpose and reasons behind the things that happened like they did are so profound and show the great plan by God.
