As we mark the birth of our LORD and Savior JESUS Christ, we need to know the reason why he descended from his throne high above the skies to dwell among us. According to our anchor scriptures this morning 1Tim.1.15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. (NIV). Paul made clear to us his primary motive for his birth. Which is to save us from our sins and to restore us to our original state of triumphant and Christ like living. So as we mark his birth let us remember his reason for existence and what it stood for during his days on earth.
