The Gift of Christmas (Part 1)

Christmas is not really about the birth of Jesus. It is about His humbling Himself, taking on weak human flesh, so that He would be able to die for our sin. The gift of Christmas is that Jesus took our place on the cross. You and I deserve to die on the cross; the most awful, torturous death imaginable. Not only that, but Jesus suffered all of God’s wrath while on the cross. And He did it for you and I; He did it in our place. That is the gift of Christmas!
