God did not say….
- It’s up to you to figure it out on your own
- If you are the best you can be you will find me
- When you fix yourself up, then we can talk
- I have no idea what I’m doing
- I don’t care about you
- We’re pretty cozy up here in heaven
- You are not worth the trouble

God sent His ONE AND ONLY Son into our mess and brokenness. Jesus Christ humbled himself and put on flesh and dwelt among us. There is no other God like our God. He came to be with us. He didn’t leave us hanging. He didn’t make us earn it. He didn’t put himself first. He didn’t say we were too much work or too costly. He displayed His love for us by coming to give everything He had.
This is Christmas. Let’s remember the GREAT news we celebrate. Christ with us.
