We’re entering the Christmas season. Why do we celebrate Christmas? <invite response>
Christmas comes once a year, and we usually start preparing for it around this time.
But do you know God prepared for Christmas a long, long time ago? He planned and prepared for the coming of His son, Jesus, into this world even from the very beginning.
It was not an afterthought, a last-minute decision or a Plan B.
God always knew that He would have to send His one and only begotten Son to come to give His life to save the world He loves.
The 1st chapter of Matthew traces Jesus’ lineage from Abraham, to whom God promised to make the Father of many nations and from whom will come a Seed who will bless the whole world. (Gen 12:3)
REVIEW: JESUS’ LINEAGE
So this Christmas, we can celebrate this King who came to give His life for us so that we can be Princes and Princesses of God!
