But with God, it was not that he had an abundance of sons to choose from to be the sacrifice for our sins. Rather, God had one son and chose to send him as a payment for our sin. God gave us all that he had so we could have a relationship with him again.

At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child.

God displayed his grace to us, not by abandoning and forgetting us, but rather by choosing to come save us. God gave all that he had for me and you! Jesus didn’t come down here to go back to God and relay that we were sinners and we were choosing to be disobedient to him. Jesus came and died KNOWING that we were sinners!

When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant. So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Jesus modeled for us what a life of serving looks like.
