In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1:1-5 KJV)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:16-21 KJV)
Jesus was born in a simple manger over 2,000 years ago for one purpose: to give everything He had including His life so that we might find new life through Him. As John 1:4-5 says, "In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
Jesus was God's greatest gift to all of mankind. This gift changed the rhythm of everything for all eternity. Watch the beautiful retelling of Christ's life today and listen to the words of the song.
As you watch, think about how Christ gave it all so that you can be free from sin. Ask yourself, "Have I given all of myself to Him just as He gave all of Himself for me?"
