WHY JESUS CAME | Matthew 11:27

Last Christmas, I was able to get together with some cousins to celebrate, and when a cousin who lives in a different state, when she told me that she was sorry that she had not gotten to know my father... You know, I was sad. I was sad because I really love my father, my father was a wonderful man. I was proud to be his son, I was always proud to tell people about my father, and so that night as I'm driving home, I had this new understanding of Christmas.

I saw that Christmas is about Jesus longing for you and me to know his father. And so Jesus comes at that Christmas because Jesus wants us to know his father. Jesus loves his father. And you notice how Jesus was always telling people about his father as he wants us to know his father. And I think that is really the essence of Christmas, that Jesus wants us to know his father, and he wants to take us to be with his father.
