From Heaven With Love Jesus came from heaven. About that there can be no doubt. Time and again the New Testament reminds us of the eternal history of Christ in affiliation with God the Father. At this time of the year much of the world, even those who do not believe, will give nodding recognition to this fact as they celebrate Christmas. They will recognize His birth but will they stop to consider why He came? “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Jesus’ birth was an open expression of God’s love for the human race. His life illustrated that love in an even more dramatic way. The cross indelibly stamped that remarkable love on the pages of history. And after that, Jesus returned to heaven. The goal of God is not found in the Christmas season, transient holiday cheer or an annual acknowledgement of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is found in your readiness for heaven. For this reason, by His own words, Jesus died. “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:1-3). David Bragg davebragg.blog/
