The Mission Of Redemption
On the first Christmas, earth was not aware of what was transpiring in heaven. As an innumerable company of Angels was waiting to worship the newborn King, a farewell was going on between God the Father and God the Son. Christ fulfilled the mission thirty-three years later on a cruel cross.
Though the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah, the sacrificial Lamb was the centerpiece of God's plan of redemption.
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the son to be the Saviour of the world.
Mission Accomplished!
But He rose on Easter -- Hallelujah
And He died to save us -- Hallellujah
And He lives forever -- Amen! Amen!
