Reflection: God’s Motivation for Sending Jesus

Motive has been interesting to me for as long as I can remember. From novels to crime television shows to true-live documentaries, motive plays a key role in almost every story. And because it's so prevalent, it also can be complicated. Since we’re coming close to Christmas, I think we should explore why we even have this holiday.

After all, Christmas is not really about buying presents, Santa Claus, Rudolph and other elements of the season. Christmas is a religious holiday when we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ child.

Why did God send Jesus to earth? What was God’s motivation? Let’s explore and find out together.
