The Reason for the Season and Beyond

Why do we celebrate the birth of Christ? Jesus was born to save us from our sins. Without His birth, there is absolutely no way for us as sinners to get to heaven. Jesus came, not to judge the world, but to save it; not to do Jesus' own will, but the will of the Father - that everyone who sees and hears the Son and believes in Him will come to the Father. As God's own perfect lamb, Jesus (God in human form) took the penalty of our sins for us in His sacrificial death on the cross.
