The First Christmas Gift – God Came Down To Us
Click on this link above to watch an amazing Christmas pageant by Kensington Church in Troy Michigan.
The humorous intro includes NFL ,(American), Pro Football Detroit Lions players Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson.
Following that is ,”The Christmas Song”, an original Jazz/Rock piece by the Kensington praise musicians that about blew me away.
Most or all of this stage performance was recorded live, so the video includes a 1 minute intercession after the initial song.
What follows is an amazing theatrical story that illustrates how when God came to be with us , He brought life and light into our dark and dead world.
The Bible says that we didn’t understand who Christ,why He came, or what He was doing.
When the story begins, everything is in shades of black, white , and gray.
Interestingly, the color red is used, the color of blood, to symbolize how Christ gave His life in order to give us life.
Then everything bursts into vibrant color to symbolize new life through Christ.
The video is 86 minutes long but can be started or stopped at any point.
If you wonder what Christmas is all about, or if you feel like you have lost the joy for Christmas, this video will help you find your joy.
The pageant is filled with amazing original music and a simple yet profound message.
I recommend watching this regardless of your condition in life.
Whether alone or with family,..
this message is meant for each one of us no matter where we are in life.
God came down to us!
The first Christmas gift was to us!

Why do we give gifts to each other when it’s not our birthday?

Friend,
You bring up a great point.
Our gifts should be directed in gratitude to the least of us whom Christ died to redeem.
Thanks for asking,…and making this post more complete.
Matthew 25:37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 25:38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 25:39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 25:40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
