If we are going to escape the lies and attacks and spiritual warfare of our greatest enemy the devil, then we need a messenger to bring us the good news of victory. To tell us, “Rejoice, we conquer!” And that’s just what God does for us today, through the words of his prophet Isaiah…

Grace is the great equalizer. It applies to everybody in the world in the same beautiful, surprising, undeserved way. None of us deserves God’s grace at all. . . .but God gives it to us just the same.

Physical life. Spiritual life. Eternal life. The way that it was always meant to be. . . that’s how your story actually will end. Because God sent you a hero at Christmas with the power to raise the dead.

The seeming peace and quiet of Christmas hid the arrival of a powerful warrior coming into enemy territory. The little manger hid something bigger than our whole world. It was our hero, the Son of God, who would win a mighty victory against all the forces of evil, crush the head of that ancient serpent, and bring all God’s children to eternal life.
