But when the right time came, the time God decided on. He sent His Son born of a woman. Born as a Jew. To buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law so that He could adopt us as His very own.
Every December millions of people around the world watch the 1946 film It's a Wonderful Life. Although it wasn't a hit when it debuted, it has become a Christmas classic. In a Time magazine essay, Roger Rosenblatt pondered the film's continuing appeal. He concluded that the story is really about friendship. That helps explain why we often still feel choked up as we watch George Bailey's family and friends rally around him in his time of greatest need. Rosenblatt said, "Just when George thinks he's alone in the world, the world shows up to declare its love for him." This is the message of Christmas that opens the door our own Wonderful Life - the joy of knowing Christ and living in His love. Have you received the gift of eternal life that Jesus offers to you? A wonderful life is yours when you know the Christ of Christmas!
