On This Christmas season I wanted to reflect for a moment on the opposite end of Jesus earthly life. Christmas is a day arbitrarily chosen as a day to celebrate His birth, but why was He born. He came to be the sacrifice that would take away both the power and guilt of our sins.It is through His blood that we have the victory over Satan.
I have embedded below a video of the song We are the Reason. The song was originally written by David Meece and redone by Avalon. The video below shows clips of scenes from the Passion of the Jesus Christ played to the Avalon version of the song.
When you view the video below think about this. If God loves us enough to send His Son to suffer so brutally then He will not withhold any good thing from us. Allow this video to strenghthen your faith and love for the Lord. As for me He is worthy of my all. If my association with and witness for Christ results in the loss of freedom, possessions or even my life then He is worthy of such sacrifice. Many now suffer for Him and soon in America Christian will suffer as the result of dramatic changes soon to unfold.
