One powerful truth of Christmas is the truth that baby in the manger is Immanuel—God with us and God for us. God coming to seek and save the lost. Coming to save us from our sins. We are so valuable to God that He purchased us not with silver or gold but with His own blood—the blood He took to Himself in the womb of Mary. This is the good news of great joy of Christmas! Our Savior is born! And He is fully intent on regaining His precious treasure—you and me. We are His pearl of great price!
