There was a sacrifice that Jesus had to make in order to be "God with us". He had to be forsaken of the Father (Mark 15:34). Jesus never sinned but you and I did and we deserved to be forsaken by God and all the curses that this entails (Deut. 28; 31:17-18). But Jesus suffered that curse of being forsaken for us. Now God promises to never leave us or forsake us (Heb. 13:5). Jesus is the reason for this season!!!
Praise God he took our place to earn us eternal life. Merry Christmas, man of God!
