I want to take today's space here to say how glorious the reality of Christmas actually is. Jesus came to Earth to be one of us. The trip wasn't just for sight seeing though. He came to be a blood a sacrifice. THE blood sacrifice. He came to destroy sin and death.
Because He came down as a babe and eventually to die for us we are able to be free. Free not just to go to heaven, but free to live our lives here and now in glorious freedom from the sins that plague us. We have been given the keys, because of the Sacrifice, to end addiction, to overcome disease, to even reverse death.
We as the Church need to embrace this freedom. We need to embrace it in our lives so we understand the gloriousness of it and then proclaim it into the lives of the hurting all around us.
The freedom we have from the ultimate blood sacrifice and the resulting authority we have over death is the most metal thing ever.
Turn it up to 11!
