Monday Motivation | The True Gift of Christmas: Beyond the Manger
Hello everyone! DJ here with this week’s Monday Motivation, and as Christmas Day approaches, let’s reflect on the true reason for the season. While the world often celebrates Jesus’ birth as the highlight of the holiday, today we’ll explore the deeper meaning behind His coming.
Jesus wasn’t just born to be celebrated in a manger—He was born to fulfill God’s rescue plan for humanity. His mission wasn’t about the stable; it was about the cross, His sacrifice, and His resurrection.
