Some companies give out a Christmas bonus (for the PC, a holiday bonus), or if they're technically driven, a performance bonus. So here's something all of us can enjoy; one more point about the miracle of Christmas -- a 'Christmas bonus' if you will.
To paraphrase Max Lucado, God went through all this just for you. If you were the only human on earth, the eternal Son of God would have come into human flesh with you, to be Immanuel, bringing humanity back into unity with God. He would have died to pay for all your sins by his perfect, sinless sacrifice. The hundreds of your sins would all be washed away by his sinless blood, and his rising from the dead on the first day of the week would have been your confidence of eternal resurrection.
Even if it was only for you. God loves that much!
Want some scriptures to read about this? John 3:16, 1 John 3:16, 1 John 4:8, Romans 3:21-28, 6:23, 5:6-10, Eph. 1:3-5, for starters.
How's that for a Christmas bonus? This is one you can spend over, and over, and over...
