All other religions are about man’s attempt to get to God...the beauty of Christmas and Christianity is God’s attempt to get to man.
He didn’t just want to be God over us, which he is, he wanted to be God WITH us. God is not a distant God...God got off the throne, came to earth to save us to be with us
JOY TO THE WORLD. JESUS CAME TO THE MESS.
God’s not waiting for you to get your mess cleaned up...He sent Jesus into the mess. God came to be WITH us, lived AS us, then died FOR us, so he could live IN us.
Joy and peace don’t come from perfect circumstances but from a perfect person. Jesus Christ - God with us and He bring us joy and peace not just one day but in this life.
