This helpless little baby born in a manger is the Lord God Almighty, who came not just to die for you, but to show you a whole new way to live as your loving Lord: To help you walk in way of truth, in the way of peace, in the way of righteousness and in the way love.

Jesus came to be one of us so He could be just like us, but without sin. Jesus came to be one of us so He could offer His life for us. Jesus came to be with us so He could initiate a relationship with us. Jesus came to bless us over and over again with His grace and truth. Jesus came to us to make the Father known to us.

Jesus is far greater than any description we might give him. No, He wants us to know that… Jesus is the eternal Word of God who shows us exactly what God is like – for He Himself is God. Jesus is the Creator of the World, who created you to know Him and be restored to complete fellowship with Him. Jesus is the Light of the World, who has come to rescue you from the darkness of your sin and give you abundant and eternal life with Him.

Just as Jesus command us to come to Him, learn from Him, and love like Him; He commands us to go and help others come to Him, learn from Him and love like Him. This is not something we have to do; it’s the greatest privilege of our lives.

When we follow Jesus, we don’t just get a relationship with Jesus, and we don’t just get help from Jesus, we get to learn from Jesus. That’s why there must be a willingness in us to yoke ourselves with Jesus – to surrender to Jesus. For when we trust Jesus, Jesus entrusts His heart to us.

Jesus has come to give you rest. Rest from having to prove yourself to God. Rest from having to measure up to some religious standards you cannot keep. Rest from your weariness and rest from your burdens. Rest for your soul. And the reason Jesus is rest is found in the description he gives of Himself. He says, Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Our going is about loving people with the love of Jesus. Showing them there is alternative way of life that’s filled with kindness, grace, truth and love. Becoming friends with people far from God so that one day we might introduce them to God. Our going may take months or even years. But the timetable is not up to us. We are just simply called to live as a sent one, and trust God to do the rest.

The ultimate end of following Jesus is knowing Jesus. It’s about having a relationship with Jesus, where just being with Him is enough. It’s about having a relationship with Jesus where you are so captivated by His beauty, and so satisfied with His love, that the things of this world lose their power over you, so that all you want is more of Jesus.

If a Savior was born for these shepherds, then anyone who has no hope, can how have hope with Jesus. For the good news is that this Savior was born for ANYONE who needs a Savior. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never darkened a church door. It doesn’t matter if you’ve spent all your life far from God. It doesn’t matter how worthless you feel or how sinful you’ve been. God’s message of good news is for YOU, personally.

The good news of the kingdom is that God favor’s those who are lowly in heart. It is this poverty of spirit, this conscious awareness of unworthiness before God, that opens the floodgates of God’s mercy. For when we’re totally honest and confess we are indeed sinful and in need of God, this is where blessing begins.
