A Christmas MysterySample

God created the whole universe. At His word, the skies, stars, sun, sea, and land came into being. He is mighty. He created people like you and me. We have arms and legs, beating hearts, bones, and muscles all wrapped up in flesh and skin. The mystery of the manger is that God put Himself into this flesh skin that He created. Our all-powerful God walked among His earthly creation.

Now here’s a mystery to wrap your head around. God is three in one. He is God the Father, the Son - Jesus, and He is the Holy Spirit. Jesus is called “Immanuel,” which means “God with us.” Jesus is God in the flesh, here with us!

God the Father sent Jesus for you and me. That’s what our Christmas celebration is all about. Think about what it’s like to be a human. We walk, we talk, we sleep. We sing and dance. We also get hungry, thirsty, and tired. Jesus was human here on earth. He walked and talked and got hungry, thirsty, and tired, just like you and me. He was a baby that cried and was taken care of by His mother, Mary. He’s experienced life just like us. God isn’t some distant, uncaring voice in the sky. Jesus is God coming to earth, Immanuel God with us. The mystery of Christmas is Jesus, God revealed.
