“You’ve been given a great gift George… a chance to see what the world would be without you.”- Clarence Odbody


If Jesus hadn’t been born our life here would amount to nothing more than existing.


First PointWithout Jesus, mankind would simply be the human animal.


Mark Twain

Stephen Hawking

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star.”


“We are not interested in the utility of a particular species, of a free-flowing river, or ecosystem to mankind. They have intrinsic value, more value – to me – than another human being, or a billion of them.”David Graber, Biologist with the U.S. National Park Service.

Second PointJesus’ birth elevates man beyond mere existence.


Psalm 8:4: God is mindful of usWhat is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?


Matthew 1029 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.


30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

More valuable than many sparrows.


John 15:15 – We are friends15 No longer do I call you servants for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.


John 8 – We are not condemned10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”


John 811 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”


Romans 8:1There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.


Hebrews 2– We are God’s children10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.


Hebrews 211 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,


Hebrews 212 saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”


Hebrews 2– We are God’s children13 And again,“I will put my trust in him.”And again,“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
