WDJD- What did Jesus do?

Isaiah foretold of the birth of a Child who would be something wonderful. The Angels at His birth declared peace and goodwill.

Religious folks need their own spin on the story. He didn't come to enforce regulations and straighten things up. He came to flip everything upside down because we were so wrong and so off course and couldn't even recognize God. But He did it in love and with peace and goodwill. God himself.

He didn't come to be an elevated spiritual ruler. He came to be a man. He came to do life with us. He came to show us that he fully understands everything about us. He came for the rejected, the outcast, the victims... He rebuked religion. He came for relationship. He came for us to have a perfect example. He showed us how to live with compassion and love in peace. He came to take away the sin aspect that was the sole focus of everything religious. He did that.

Then we murdered Him. We murdered Perfect Peace. Where are we today? Pretty much off the same course, with the same focus on sin, looking for another scape-goat for every fault found in ourselves, yet demanding blood from those we want to judge.

Tonight, I'm thankful. Thankful He came to show man that His desire is to be with us, for us to have peace and goodwill, and for us not to focus on sin but have loving relationships with each other and God.

Emmanuel. God with us. He is always with us. He came for this very reason. Nothing else. He just wants to be your everything. In Him we live and move and have our being.

Instead of the old thought, "What would Jesus do?" I offer a better idea... "What did Jesus do?" His example is perfect.

God Incarnate.
A Nativity Revolution!
