God loves you. You were created in His very image – special, unique, and beautiful – and God called you “very good” (see Genesis 1:31a). Sin has tried to cheapen what God made good, but you are still valuable to the Lord. In fact, you are so precious to God He sent His one and only Son to restore your worth. God came to this earth as a little baby and grew up realizing His assign- ment: to humble Himself to the point of death, taking upon Himself the sin that cheapens and ruins our lives, and rising again in victory over hell’s destruc- tion. This is what Christmas is all about.
