What happened on Christmas...

I Jn 1:1-3
1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life--2 and the life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us--3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.(NAS)

We don't always take the time to consider just what happened on that first Christmas day. But we definitely should. Jesus, the Son of God, but also God in the flesh, and eternal life manifested, came to dwell among us. He became human. He did all of this so that we could have fellowship with the father through His redeeming blood. Jesus is eternal life because it is only through Him that we can dwell eternally with Him. There is so much more to Christmas than we sometimes think about, and to find the joy to be found in Christmas, we need to think on these things not only during the Christmas season, but all throughout the year. That's what Christmas is. Think about it, tell people about it, and we will see change.
