What does Christmas change?

Published: Dec. 25, 2015, 10 a.m.

Every gift - and every child - needs to be delivered. Only one gift - one child - can possibly deliver. On Christmas, we celebrate the fact that God delivered our Deliverer, Jesus Christ. In order for that gift - like any gift - to be appreciated and utilized properly, it needs to be understood. God tells us that the gift he gives us at Christmas is his own Son incarnate - wrapped in human flesh and blood. While the full humanity and full divinity of Jesus cannot be understood, the implications of forgiveness and eternal life cause it to be a mystery at which we marvel and offer God our praise.
