What the world needs more than anything is hope: hope that there is an opportunity, hope that not everything is lost, hope that the past won't determine the future, hope that the dreams can come true.
Sadly, many people don't have that hope and live condemned by their errors and sins, or condemned to believe that everything will be the same for the things that happened to them. But Jesus came to change that.
Jesus was born to bring them hope. Many people think that God wants to give them what they deserve, that He is focused on their bad actions so He may punish them, that He is far away and is indifferent to their pain. But the truth is quite the opposite: our Father wants to give you what you don't deserve because Jesus already received what you deserved. He is focused on you as a good, loving and caring Father, and He does it to help and bless you. Your Father is close to your pain, He identifies to it, cries with you and gets happy with you.
If your Father wanted to condemned you, He would've sent a condemner. But He wanted to save you, so He sent a Savior. If He wanted to punish you, why hasn't He done it already? But He loves you so much that He wanted Jesus to receive the punishment you deserved, and now He is patient so that all may come to know Him.
Christmas is the birth of hope. Christmas is the beginning of the end of condemnation. Christmas is God drawing close to humanity. Christmas is to know that you can decide for a better future because you know that your Heavenly Father is with you. That's why Christmas is the best season of the year.
"For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved"
(John 3:17)
I, my Ceci and my Juanes wish you a very merry little Christmas!
