It’s amazing to think about just what Jesus came to Earth to do.  We like to sing the songs and share the presents and enjoy the decorations and festivities.  But Jesus didn’t come to have fun and to celebrate.  He came to die.  And if you stop to think about what he gave up in Heaven and all the sorrow and pain he suffered during his life on Earth, it can put an entirely different feeling to the Christmas season.  But the great thing is that Jesus was willing to go through all that.  His mission was a volunteer one, and he did it for the joy of the results of giving people a way out of evil and death and into goodness and life.  Christmas is definitely a time worth celebrating.  It’s worth celebrating all year long!.  But don’t miss exactly why it’s worth celebrating.

This continuation goes into some of the prophesy that foretold the coming of Jesus (his birth, life, death, and even resurrection).  As if it wasn’t enough proof to have eyewitness accounts of his life and the things he said and did and how he rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven, God gave us prophesy about it all before it ever happened to make sure there was no mistake exactly who the Messiah was.  I just think that’s so cool!
