God created us as social creatures who desire companionship. For when He created man, God Himself observed:
“It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” Genesis 2:18 (NKJV)
Scripture continues:
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man . . . “She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2:21–22, 23b (NKJV)
This God-given yearning for relationship is a reflection of our amazing Creator who, moved by His boundless love, longed to restore the fellowship with humanity that was broken in the Garden. When Adam and Eve fell from perfection, the world seemed to tilt, and humanity has been sliding down that slope ever since. No amount of kindness, technology, wealth, or influence can reverse this decline.
Our greatest loss was separation from God—just as the Bible declares:
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 3:23 (NKJV)
But God, rich in mercy, refused to leave us in this fallen condition. At just the right moment, in the fullness of time, He bridged the impossible gap Himself. 
He stepped into our world to demonstrate His matchless love in the most unmistakable way. Luke 2:8–14 (NKJV) captures this glorious moment:
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
On that holy night, Jesus’ birth ushered in a brand-new relationship between God and humanity—a relationship built on peace, goodwill, and divine reconciliation. Everything God had promised through prophets, priests, Scripture, and sacred tradition—once directed only to His Chosen People by birth and ancestry—became available to all: men, women, boys, and girls everywhere, by faith in Christ.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16–17 (NKJV)
Now, every person has the opportunity to confess Jesus as Lord and Savior and receive the abundant life He offers today and eternal life with Him forever. Scripture proclaims this clearly in Romans 10:6–13 (NKJV):
But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10–11). How much better it is to bow now—freely, willingly, and lovingly—so that the result is eternal fellowship with Him. For those who refuse, that confession comes by compulsion, before an eternity separated from Him in torment.
So yes, we rejoice in celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas Day. His earthly life began in an obscure Bethlehem manger, yet it would end publicly on Calvary’s cross.
There, Love Himself stretched out His arms to redeem us!
Yet, the story does not end there. When He rose from the dead, our Lord won us back to God and opened the door to everlasting fellowship with Him. Won’t you give Him your heart today?
What a wonderful Savior!
Happy Birthday Jesus!
