Daily Devotion - Episode 158 - What Christmas is all About
We celebrate an absolutely astounding truth during the Christmas season: Immanuel! God is with us! If you ever ask what Christmas is all about, this is what Christmas is all about – God left His throne and put Himself into the hands of a young girl and her betrothed, becoming dependent, experiencing pain, feeling hunger and thirst, and facing threats to survival. He did this all to share in our human experiences, to make Himself known to us, and to make it possible for Him to live in us and for us to live in Him.
As Jesus explained, “I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” (John 17:26).
All About Redemption
Christmas is also all about redemption. As described in John 1:9, “The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.” Through His coming, Jesus offered His light to us, redeeming us out of the consuming darkness of sin in our hearts. Paul describes it this way: "For God, who said, 'let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts" (2 Corinthians 4:6).
Christmas is all about expelling the darkness from our hearts and making His light shine in us, so we may become the light of the world. Jesus said of us, “You are the light of the world…let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14, 16). Of Himself, Jesus said, “I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” (John 12:46).
Yes, God is with us. He is here. He is alive. He is in us. Let's approach our celebration of the advent of Christ with new eyes and a restored heart, filled with joy, gladness, thanksgiving, and praise for what His birth is all about. Thank God this Christmas for His coming, His indwelling presence, His love, His redemption, His Kingdom, and most of all, for Who He is: Immanuel. And that’s what Christmas is all about.
