Jesus’ accomplishment

Ephesians 3:17 “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” The celebrations of Christmas are not so we can all have dinner with each other or buy presents for one another or travel and see each other.  The celebrations of Christmas are all because Jesus came to this earth, lived, died and rose so that you and I could have a relationship with God.  Without Jesus you and I could not approach God.  That would be devastating.  With Jesus we easily approach God in total freedom.  That is what the celebrations are all about.
