Towards Christmas 3: Trading Places + Song of The Day: The Lucky Ones (Lecrae ft Ruddy Currence)


Yes, He came into the world to give us rest (like we read in Matt11:28 yesterday), but in doing this he had to be the undeserving carrier of the labour and the burdens that He gave us rest from (Isaiah53:4&5).
The thing is man had tried so hard to bear 
the burden, to break free from the chains, but the harder we tried, the deeper into sin we went, we just could not free ourselves (Isaiah59:9-16). 
He had to be born to die so that He could destroy the works of the devil (1John3:8). He came to swallow the ticking bomb of sin that had been placed on our backs and He was blown up in our place.

This is more than a big deal...our Christmas celebrations have to have much more depth! When we know why we are celebrating, our celebration will be unending! Have you seen the jubilation of a slave that has been set free or of victors in war?
What Jesus' coming did was an incomparably greater feet than anything ever heard of or seen by all of 
Gods creation (Luke 2:9-14)..new creatures in Christ? A clean slate? all because God himself who we had betrayed time and again died for us His creation! He rescued us even though we were absolutely undeserving..this love is unfathomable. Thank you Jesus for being born!

Be Spekky...Be Spectacular!!!
