A Child is Born to Us

That child has grown up to become the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace. Although His name has all these attributes of The Godhead, He is also our Elder Brother and we are joint airs along with him of all God’s promises. God gave up His only begotten Son, to be sent to the world so the world could crucify Him making Him the sacrificial Lamb without spot or blemish. The perfect offering back to God for justice to be satisfied, because of the sin of mankind. This world still doesn’t get it concerning Jesus’ work at Calvary but some do. This child was born to us for a purpose. Jesus knew the horror He was going to have to go through but stayed His course for us, even while nailed to the cross. He never committed any sin while being tempted on every side as we are. If He had sinned once, He would not have been worthy as the perfect sacrifice for sin. Jesus had the seed of His sinless Father from heaven in Him, but He still had to invoke His will not to take the bait of sinful pleasures or anything in the way of His purpose for coming to earth. He is our hero whether understood by us or not. To us a Child is born, to us a Son is given. Today the child is no longer a child, and His work at Calvary was done for everyone. Your response is needed, (concerning that work at Calvary). Is your name in the book of life, held by God in heaven? If you don’t get saved today by calling on His name, then Calvary was not for you, and a worse reality awaits you after death.
