The hope of God’s kingdom arrived wrapped in a blanket and placed in a manger.
In Luke 4:43 Jesus told His disciples, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.” (ESV)
Jesus is the heart of heaven, He is the man who touched the sick, reached out to the outcast and raised the dead.
He is the sacrificial lamb who laid down His life so we could be reconciled with God.
He is the Savior who defeated sin and death then rose to eternal life.
He is the Lord who sits at the right hand of God in the heavenly realms.
He is the Resurrection and the Life for all who would dare to trust Him and wild enough to embrace His radical love.
He is Jesus.
He is hope.
He is Christmas.
Christmas is the beginning of hope for all mankind.
