Jesus is the reason for this season!

Why did he come?
.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. -Luke 2:7

GOD'S LOVE SENT HIM
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life life." John 3:16

...TO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. -John 6:38

..TO GIVE HIS LIFE
"just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

..TO GIVE US LIFE
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

..TO BECOME POOR, TO MAKE US RICH
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich." -2 Corinthians 8:9

..TO BE MADE LIKE US
"For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted" -Hebrews 2:17-18

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin." -Hebrews 4:15

..THAT WE MIGHT BE LIKE HIM
"For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers." -Romans 8:29

..TO GIVE US PEACE
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." -John 14:27

..TO GIVE US JOY
"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." -John 15:11
