He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. -
Colossians 1:15
I want you to try to imagine what the world would be like without the birth of
Jesus Christ. It's beyond our imagination, but just try to picture it. We
certainly wouldn't know God as we know Him. In fact, we'd be fortunate to have
even heard about the God revealed in the Old Testament.
So what changed on that first Christmas so long ago? Well, when Jesus Christ
came, the Bible says He was Immanuel… "God with us." God was no longer a distant
Deity. He was no longer an unfathomable, unapproachable image. But God became
flesh and blood; God was with us! That's why Jesus would later say, "Whoever has
seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).
When Jesus was born into the world, He was God! He wasn't a man acting like God;
not even God acting like a man; but God who was fully man and a man who was
fully God! When Christ was seeing, that was God seeing. And when Christ was
walking, that was God walking!
If Jesus hadn't come, and if He wasn't God, we'd never have the knowledge of God
we have today. So thank God today for sending Jesus to Bethlehem all those years
ago so that you might have a clear picture of a God who loves you
unconditionally!
THANK GOD FOR REVEALING HIMSELF TO YOU THROUGH JESUS SO THAT YOU COULD BE SAVED
BY KNOWING HIM!
