What is a Merry Christmas?
Jesus was foreordained before the creation to be born into this world as a baby to become the Lamb of God and the Savior of man.
God had instituted the sacrifice of lambs among mankind as a means of symbolizing the ultimate atonement of sin.
God promised Abraham that He would provide a lamb of his own 2,000 years before Jesus was actually born.
(Genesis 22:8 My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:)
(Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.)
Jesus, even before his crucifixion, unequivocally stated that it was for this purpose that he had come into the world.
(John 12:37 for this cause came I unto this hour.)
Jesus came to offer redemption to each of us! He overcame sin and the world.
The word Redemption means to restore goodness; or to provide compensation for something that lies at the fault for the loss of our goodness!
Jesus came as the Lamb of God: as a precious Gift from God, to offer him as the payment price of sin!
It’s the amazing free Gift of God! It is offered to You!
