Our value as humans doesn't come from our accomplishments or who we know, or our knowledge. It comes from our creator, God. As Christians we should understand this more clearly than the rest of the world as we are in relationship with God. When we find our value in any other person and/or thing than God we begin to live life without purpose or a divine plan, selfishly, and constantly looking for that value that can only be found in our Father God.

When Jesus arrived on the scene in Bethlehem well over 2000 years ago He wasn't here to just give us a reason to have a holiday. He was here to enact a covenant between His father and Himself that would save all of mankind and fulfill His father's purposes and will. Covenant is not something we hear about in our current culture. Why? Because covenant is more than just an agreement. It is deeper than a contractual piece of paper. Lawyers and courts don't decide the outcomes and/or the administration of the covenants. A covenant is a more than that. The covenant between Jesus and His father changed the world.

The moments Jesus was born all of history was changed. It was His presence that changed everything. It was more than just another birth, more than a supernatural event, it was extravagantly, momentous, gargantuan, and monumental because GOD had come to earth. His presence was not some alien entity that existed in the minds of men but He was now here among us, He was and now is with us!
