The angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:10-11

What was the angel so excited about? Merely that the One who created the heavens and the earth had just joined the human race as an infant. The One who thought up oxygen would now breathe it in through a pair of tiny lungs, as his virgin mother nursed him human milk. Amazing.

But the real excitement had to do with why. A Savior was born: One who would redeem lost mankind, One who would-some thirty years later-go to a cross on behalf of a sinful world, and pay the penalty for our sin.

And that’s why all the joy. That’s why we celebrate. That’s the true meaning of Christmas, God’s gift of Jesus. O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
