John 1:14; 3:16-18; Heb. 11:17; 1 John 4:9 – (Brian)  Jesus is God’s “one and only” Son.  God gave His only begotten Son.  That is what happened in the birth of Jesus Christ.  But you must believe that He gave him for you. Never was there a giving like this giving.  In that word “gave” is poured all the wonders of grace.  We should read it this way:  “God so loved the world that he gave over his only begotten Son.”  He did not loan His Son.  He did not dismiss His Son for a little while with no definite purpose.  But He gave Him over, He gave Him up.  He consigned Him to a specific place.  He sent Him for a clearly chosen purpose.  He gave Him over for us.  He sent Him into our place, to assume the place of judgment for our sins.  Christmas day is the celebration of the love of God.  

Christmas is the great and everlasting celebration of the unconditional love of God.  That is what we must make this day.  God found it in His heart to love us, to draw us to Himself that we might be with Him.  God longed for us with a longing that could not rest until we were brought unto the highest good.  God in love sought us and He found us.
