Christ came from

Heaven, humbly becoming part of the human

Race

In order to

Save our souls from

Transgressions or sins against God by

Making a way for our relationship with God to be restored by dying in our place

As the perfect

Sacrifice and Savior, the substitute for those who believe Jesus is the Son of God.

Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Christ is a title for Jesus. It means anointed or chosen one. “Christ” is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word “Messiah” which means deliverer or savior.

At the end of the John’s biography of Jesus’ life, the apostle wrote, “these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31 NKJV). If you haven’t read the gospel of John, now would be a great time.

May your Christmas be blessed by knowing with full assurance that you believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God, that you have acknowledged your sin and accepted God’s forgiveness, and made Jesus Lord of your life.
