For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Christmas is all about God. It was His stunning idea in the beginning before time began. No one has seen the Father, the all-seeing One, the Three in One, the Almighty, the Alpha and the Omega, who sees and hears and knows all, yet loves His children. With God nothing is impossible. A virgin birth? God of the universe in infant form? A perfect life? Nothing is too difficult for God.
This is the first of a nine-part series called “When Christmas Came.” It’s based on John 3:16, one of the most well-known verses in the Bible, and yet very few associate it with Christmas. In this series I will walk you through John 3:16 phrase by phrase for a new look at why we celebrate the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
I hope you will enjoy these pre-Christmas devotions and that on December 25 you’ll celebrate with a greater sense of awe and wonder. And before you move on to the next to-do item on your list, take another minute to reread this short poem about God’s involvement in Christmas.
Lovely…..and amazing!
