He is born. He is Christ the Lord.
His mission in life sounds simple: teach the thing He knows best. Love. It should be easy for the Son of God. People should flock to Him to understand, to learn from someone who was put on this Earth as a symbol of God's love for us.
In his short thirty-odd years, Jesus touched many thousands of lives in different ways. He performed dozens of miracles, changing the lives of many. He healed the blind, the lame. He fed thousands from a few loaves of bread and some fish, He turned water into wine. He resurrected the dead, He walked on water. Yet in none of the things He did was there any self-recognition. "Rise and go; your faith has saved you." "Everything is possible for those that believe." Humble messages, from a human man.
He had to know how His life would end. God sent Him to Earth to save mankind from our sins. He lived with the knowledge that He would have to give His life to prove it.
Here is a test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: If you´re alive, it isn't. Richard Bach: A Bridge Across Forever.
Lesson One Hundred Seven: Today we celebrate His birth. Don't dwell on what is to come. Live. Love.
