Born to Die....that we might Live
All through the Old Testament, God shouts, “Christmas is coming! The Promised One is coming. The One who will fill the void in your life is coming.” In Isaiah 7:14, God gave a prophecy to His people: “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.”
Immanuel means “God with us,” and that’s exactly what Christmas is all about: letting Jesus fill that God-shaped void inside. The joy of Christmas is knowing that if you’ve received the gift of His Son—truly received Him as your Savior and Lord—you’ll never be alone. It’s knowing Jesus will never leave you, never forsake you (Hebrews 13:5) If your Christmas season seems empty, could it be that you’ve missed the Someone of Christmas?
