Do you know Christmas is more about you than Jesus?
It’s true. When Jesus came into the world, the importance of that day wasn't His incarnation, but your inclusion in His incarnation!
It’s the whole reason He became flesh.
Upon His birth, Jesus took all of humanity with Him, past, present, and future. Then, He did what no one could do: Live a purely human life of truth, love, and grace.
Jesus’ victory is your victory
God was pleased to have all of himself live in Christ. God was also pleased to bring everything on earth and in heaven back to himself through Christ. Colossians 1:19-20
The days of waiting and hoping you'll get your act together are over. You're in Him and He's in you. And all that He is, is true of you this moment. It’s not what you DO. It’s what He’s already DONE. It’s a finished work in Christ Jesus.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. John 14:20
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. I John 4:17
You're one spirit with Him
But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. I Corinthians 6:17
Indeed, your very essence is spirit: “The Spirit gives life,” John 6:63. Past behavior, failures, or mistakes don't define you; your union and oneness in Christ do.
Let His Life in you be your focal point, not outward things of this world. Focusing on Him and experiencing Him from within is where authentic transformation happens.
So celebrate the reality of your spiritual union in Christ, and you'll enjoy Christmas every single day.
For with God nothing will be impossible. Luke 1:37
