Last Christmas, somebody stole the Jesus figurine from a park Nativity scene. They found Him, badly defaced and damaged. Baby Jesus was treated horribly.
As disturbing as that incident is, it pales in comparison to how Jesus was really treated when He came. The Bible says: “His face was so disfigured He seemed hardly human …He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins…Led like a sheep to the slaughter” (Isaiah 52:14, 53:3, 5, 7 NLT).
There’s no way they could do that to the Son of God unless He let them, and He did. That’s how much He loves you. The Bible says: “The Lord laid on Him (Jesus) the sins of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). Jesus willingly took all the punishment for every wrong thing you and I’ve ever done. This Christmas season, He’s reaching out to you—into your heart—offering to give you what He died for.
Your eternity depends on how you treat Jesus—whether you say yes or no to what He died for. If you’re ready to put your life in His hands, would you call us at 888-NEED HIM. God will never forget what you do with His Son.
