“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10 NIV
It’s Christmas time again. During that last minute rush to get everyone a present, the last minute packing for your vacation, the last minute preparations for that bar barque you are planning, have you even asked yourself “Why on earth did Jesus come?” As the retail sector is cashing in by commercialising this important holiday, spare a moment to think about the real meaning of Christmas.
Well the opening scripture spells it out clearly. Yes, Jesus came to give us life. Remember that after the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden, man was condemned to death. The Bible says that we have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. (Ref: Romans 3:23) However that is not the end of the story for us because the angel who spoke to Joseph in a dream (Matthew1:20-21) made it clear that Jesus came to save his people of their sins. Hence by our believing in Him we no longer perish but have eternal life. (Ref John 3:16)
As you celebrate Christmas this year, have the Saviour in mind. Merry Christmas and Stay Blessed.
