Anyway, at church on sunday, a guy that gave our mini sermon was speaking about the birth of Christ. He was saying that Jesus's sole purpose for being born, was so that he could be put to death 30 years later. I have never looked at Christ's birth from this perspective and it has really got to me. Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph as their son, just so he could save the world 30 years later by being crucified. Crucifixion was a punishment for criminals and Jesus went through that horrible death so that we could be saved. That was his sole purpose in life, to save us from death and to give us another chance. This has just blown my mind over this past week. Another thing that this guy was saying was that God/Jesus was not just saving us through his death but the whole universe. EVERYTHING is in UNIVERSE. Now, I don't know about you, but I thought that that was pretty awesome.
May God bless you over Christmas and may you remember him and what he has done for us through this christmas season.
Merry Christmas
