Joseph, Jesus, and Mary


I like this.
As we approach Christmas, it's good to remember why Jesus was born. The son of God did not come to establish a nostalgic, family-orientated, commercially successful holiday. The angel told Joseph: "Mary will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for He will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).
Christmas began with a present from God to His sinned damaged world: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom 6:23).
The masterpiece of God's human creation, marred by turning away from him, can be restored when we give our hearts to Christ. -David McCasland-
Jesus came to earth to repair our sin-damaged lifes.
