“Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” -Clarence Oddbody
In the holiday classic "It's a Wonderful Life", quintessential everyman George Bailey struggles to see that his life has purpose and significance. In a desperate answer to prayer, God grants him the rare opportunity to see just what everyone's life would be like without him and in the end he realizes just how precious a gift he had been given, and how blessed he was.
What if Jesus had never been born? Can you even imagine for a second what life would be like if Jesus never came? What a hole that would be left. A huge, unfillable void. Have you ever asked Why did Jesus come?
