CHRIST IS CHRISTMAS! HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
He was sent and He came to fulfill a mission; ALL-Man, ALL-God, carrying the treasure of His precious blood from the humble manger to the Cross of Calvary just so it could be spilled for all mankind. God’s sacrificial lamb, payment for OUR penalty of sin in the world. His gift is free to ALL who are willing to receive it.
May the Spirit of Christmas and the Spirit of Redemption be in your hearts continually from this day forward and may all the precious Joy and gracious Peace from our Heavenly Father be yours in this Season of Christ Jesus!
Taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation for ease of reading:
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD 
I love that “Hail, favored woman” is the greeting from an angel to an ordinary, humble woman, not a prayer to a goddess. The good news is that through the Child she bore, any of us can be favored by God, if we love and follow Him.
