Thank you for posting it.
At the risk of appearing to be a grinch, and realizing thousands of flaming replies will come, I’m sorry. His birth changed nothing.
It was not his birth, but His death, burial and resurrection that changed everything. Had His birth occurred, without the complete and finished work of the cross, nothing would have changed. He was born for one purpose: to go to the cross, to suffer and die for the sins of the world. Leave that out, and the birth becomes without purpose. The whole reason that God became Man in Jesus Christ was to be the sinless substitute, the “Lamb slain” before the foundation of the world.
That being clarified - Merry Christmas, everyone!
