The point of Christmas is that God came to dwell with us so that we could dwell with Him forever.

As John reminds us in the first chapter of his Gospel, the “Word was God . . . [and] the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (verses 1, 14).

When you think of the enormity of God, the complexity of His creation, and the majesty of His glory, this effort for our salvation is beyond comprehension.

Why would God go to such lengths to restore us to Himself? The answer, of course, is found in His nature. It’s found in the one-word God uses to describe Himself in 1 John 4:8: “God is love.”

So with Christmas nearly upon us, Dr. Chuck Jonas helps us to preserve and protect the real treasure and meaning of the holiday by looking at the account of the Magi.
