Why send a babe to save the world, an infant in a barn?
Why reach eternal, loving hands to lift from earth the base?
Why bridge the gap? Why save one man?
Why send Your son to die?
Why should the almighty, eternal God consider frail man’s fate?
Why offer such a special gift to those who walk away?
Why care even one wit for man, God’s surely seen his heart?
There is nothing he does that satisfies, his heart is wicked dark.
The questions, they go on and on. Why would God do this thing? Why come to earth for those who mock and say You don’t exist?
But Our God, He dwells among us. He is Emmanuel. He came a little baby, lived as man and later died; the perfect sacrifice given, His love can’t be denied.
But why, you reason, would He? What was the goal He sought? It’s that He greatly loved us, so He came, our souls He bought. He came so I might live, child of the risen King. Jesus came to show His face, to set the record straight. Our God He loves us unto death. He’s the vine, the door, the gate. Just knock, He’ll open to you. There’s no reason for you to wait.
This Christmas as you wonder, why a babe so small, so weak? What’s the purpose of His coming, just let the record speak. God came to earth to save us, while we were yet still lost. He healed, He raised, He shed His blood, so we could see His face.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. This is the face (and heart) of God!
