Christmas reminds us of humanity’s deepest need—our sin separates us from God. But at the perfect moment, God carried out His proactive, intentional, and humble plan: He sent His eternal Son, Jesus, to be born so He could redeem us and adopt us as His children. Because of Jesus, we’re no longer slaves but sons and heirs, and that gives us real hope. The true reason for Christmas is that God sent His Son to meet our greatest need and make us His own.
