Christmas - Why We Celebrate

Part 2 of 3

I'm sure you've heard the saying, "If Jesus only needed to come and die for you, He still would have done it."

I would take that one step further and say that He did die just for me. He didn't suffer for a mass of faceless people, rather He sacrificed Himself for billions of specific people, all of whom He knows intimately.

I think if we could wrap our minds around this concept we would live our lives more fully for Christ. We just can't comprehend someone being so powerful and superior to us actually wanting a close relationship with us. We look at the famous people in our world and see to what great lengths they go through to keep the "common folk" away from them and apply that picture to God, when that is the furthest from the truth.

Kutless - Sea of Faces

I see the city lights all around me
Everyone's obscure
Ten million people each with their problems
Why should anyone care

And in Your eyes I can see
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

Sometimes my life it feels so trivial
Immersed in the greatness of space
Yet somehow you still find the time for me
It's then You show me Your love

And In Your eyes I can see
And in Your arms I will be
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

If only my one heart
Was all you'd gain from all it cost
Well I know you would have still been a man
With a reason
To willingly offer your life

I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body's the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

Just one in a million faces
