Jesus’s
birth is both the worst and the best news ever and understanding both will
change your life forever.
Only when you accept the very, very bad news of Jesus’s birth will you then
be excited about its very, very good news (Come Let Us Adore Him by
Paul David Tripp).
The bad news of the
Christmas story is human beings are born flawed, desperate condition and
deluded, thanks to sin. The good news is God has a solution for man’s sin thus
restoring relationship with God. He sent
His son, Jesus, an infant born to offer humanity the solution for the
brokenness of sin. Tripp adds, Confessing
our brokenness is the only way we will ever fully understand and celebrate the
birth of the Messiah, Jesus. The Christmas story is not intended to
teach you a bunch of moral lessons that require no history to be helpful. The Christmas story is about a God of
glorious grace on the march, invading human history with the grace of
redemption.
In life and death, man has one hope, a sinless
person, that is the glorious gift of Jesus.
This Christmas may you see with clear eyes the good news -- hope lay in
a manager, the birth of a Savior.
