Why Did Jesus Come Down From Heaven?
The Real Purpose Of Christmas
Despite the increasing secularism of our day, most people know that there is more to Christmas than Santa and shopping, trees and tinsel, carols and cards. Most people still know that Christmas is, at its core, a celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ, the Babe of Bethlehem.
HHowever, there is so much more to the Christmas Story than the fact that Mary and Joseph became the parents of a little baby in a small village five miles south of Jerusalem. In fact, a study of the Scriptures shows us that the Birth of Christ is a gem of truth with many beautiful but often unnoticed facets.
We might think of the Birth of Christ as the “what” Headline to the Christmas Story. But, as one begins to read under the Headline, the “why” of the Birth of Christ is revealed. Why did the Father send the Son? Why did Jesus come down from Heaven?
