"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." That's the Christmas message in a nutshell. That's why He came. Forget about all the hype and the commercialisation, etc. Christ's coming into the world was a mercy mission that is directed towards YOU. He came because He needed to come if ever you were to be saved. Without His coming into the world as Man, indeed as God-Man, you could never be saved. But He came, willingly and in obedience to His Father's will, to save a wretch like you.
But it was not just His coming that saves; in act that by itself does not save anyone. His coming was to die on Calvary. But not just that. He came to die the cruel death of the Cross so that you might never taste the wrath of God towards sin. And the message of Christmas is God's offer of salvation to you.
Don't put this matter off. You might not even see Christmas this year, let alone 2012. Do it now. Get right with God NOW!
