"She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins!" Matthew 1:21 NLT

Why is it that Christmas is the best of times? Because Immanuel came to earth and tabernacled among men, God was with us! The Light of the world descended onto the earth that He created and that is now filled with darkness. The Prince of Peace came into confusion, chaos, fear and anxiety. Holiness willingly descended into sin, depravity and evil. The Way came so that all who would believe in Him might come to Him and know Him. The Life came so that all who would believe might have eternal life and have it abundantly in and through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Absolute Sovereignty came to proclaim liberty to captives, freedom to prisoners, to comfort all who mourn, to bind up the brokenhearted and bring good news to the afflicted. The Resurrection came so that all who believe and put their trust in Jesus Christ will live even if they die, and everyone who lives and believes will never die. The Lamb of God came to earth to die in our place for our sins, He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of Christ. Jesus Christ is coming again to rule and reign forever and that hope is why Christmas is the very best of times!

Merry Christmas and the happiest of new years to everyone! This will be the last post of 2011 and God willing the daily posts will resume January 6, 2011.
