1John 3:8 “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”

One thing that Christmas should mean to all of us is that through Christ we gain the ultimate victory. Jesus was born more than 2,000 years ago to end Satan’s rule over mankind.
This means, Christmas story doesn’t start in the town of Bethlehem. It begins in the book of Genesis.

After God created Adam, He placed him in the Garden of Eden where He walked and talked with him every day. God brought every animal and bird to Adam to see what he would call them (Gen 2:19). And He gave Adam dominion over every creature (Gen 1:28).

However, Satan deceived Eve, and Adam sinned. The two became separated from God, their loving Father. Satan thought he had won a victory. He thought that mankind would never be able to connect with God again.

But one night, Jesus was born in Bethlehem and laid in a manger. He lived a sinless life and was crucified and nailed to a cross on Calvary’s hill. 1John 3:8 says: “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” So, through His birth, death, and resurrection, Jesus ended Satan’s rule over mankind. Hallelujah!

The beauty of Christmas is that the only reason Jesus became the Babe of Bethlehem was for you and me. He made a way for us not only to commune once again with God but also to experience victory over all of life’s circumstances. Congratulations.

PRAYER: The victory of Christmas shall manifest in your life today, in Jesus name.

Merry Christmas!
