The miracle of Christmas is that God came to dwell amongst us. He came not as some sort of superbeing or an angel, but He came as a man.
Why did He do this? Because He had created us in His image. We are the high point of God’s creation, a wonderful and treasured possession.
But we decided we didn’t need God, we decided that we could decide for ourselves what was right and what was wrong. We decided we didn’t need our Creator and we have been paying the price of our folly ever since.
Yet God loves us so much that He was prepared to dwell among us as a man. He loves us so much that He was prepared to go to the cross to die to take the judgement that should be ours.
Jesus came to call us back to Himself. So often we are reluctant to admit our need of God, to admit the failings and sins in our own life, reluctant to humble ourselves. But Jesus was prepared to humble Himself so that we might have life.
Realise how precious you are, realise how much you mean to God, and return to Him, the only one who can give you life.
