A lot of soldiers are coming home this Christmas, but not Amy. She's pretty stressed! She just got called up to go to Afghanistan. So as the Christmas displays are lighting up everything, Amy's leaving for the battlefield.
Well, you know, Jesus knows that feeling. That's what the Son of God was doing that first Christmas; leaving the safety and glory of heaven, to come to this battlefield where we live. The Bible says, "He became human and made His home among us" (John 1:14). His life began in a stable and ended on a cross by His choice, because He had come to do battle with the monster that ruins so many things - sin. The "all about me" choices we've all made because we've hijacked our lives from God, and Jesus won when He paid our death penalty on that cross so you could be forgiven and be in heaven some day.
Now the battle is in your soul over whether or not you'll pin all your hopes on Him. That battle can be over today if you'll just tell Him, "Jesus, I'm Yours." If that's what you want, contact us at needhim.org, and the battle will be over; there'll be peace in your soul.
