The Christmas story is a story of great news, good tidings, and the gospel. The news is that a Savior is born.

Someone was coming to rescue all of us, to give the world life and hope. When the angels announced the message, the shepherds were afraid, but they heard the announcement: "Don't be afraid; help is on the way."

That help comes from the great 'I am,’' a title God uses to reveal His eternal and unchanging nature. Beside Him, there is no savior. He is the only one who can save.

Jesus came as the "Savior of the world" (I John 4:14). He wants all to be rescued and to know the Father through Him.

Jesus is God who came in human flesh born with us, like us among us, to rescue us and save us from our sins. Matthew 1:21.

We have all sinned, failed, and messed up. It's something we all know in our hearts. We wish we could change some things in the past. Don't let pride hinder you from admitting you need this Savior.

God made Jesus sin for us so that we could become the righteousness of God in Christ. II Corinthians 5:21.

God's love for you is limitless and unconditional from the very beginning. He loves you just as you are. His love is such that He refuses to leave you to face your struggles alone. He comes to us with the ultimate solution: rescue and salvation.

Even when we turned away from God, He never turned away from us. His presence is constant, a comforting assurance that we are never alone on our journey.

As you celebrate Christmas, remember that it is the story of God's deep love for you. It is God becoming man, understanding you, feeling your pain, and hurting with you. You are not alone; God completely understands and values you.
