It is of little use to know the When? Where? and even the Who? of the Christmas event, unless one also know and embraces the Why? of Jesus birth.
For that, we let Jesus explain it himself:
"The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost" Lk 19:10
&
"The Son of Man came ... to give His life as a ransom for many." Mk10:45

Do pray for the ordinary citizens of Gaza. For them, the situation must look hopeless. They have little say in what Hamas chooses to do and are basically being sacrificed for political purposes.
May the Lord Jesus draw many to rest in Him as the only and eternal Prince of Peace.

Greg Sheridan's reading suggestions are excellent. We commend then highly, but could suggest Ephesians instead of 2 Peter, but by the time you get that far, we hope you will want to read the whole of the New Testament anyway!

Chances are this Christmas, youll do some reading. I want to suggest 160 pages, about half the length of a regular novel.

John Bunyan, contemplating the riches of the Lord Jesus' words in John 6:37: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out," imagines for us the following dialogue:

“But,” you say, “I am a great sinner.”
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.
But I am an old sinner, you say.
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.
“But I am a hard-hearted sinner!”
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.
You say, “But I am a backsliding sinner.”
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.
“But I have served Satan all my days!”
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.
Again, “But I have sinned against the light.”
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.
But I have sinned against mercy!”
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.
But I have no good thing to bring with me,” you say.
“I will in no wise cast out,” says Christ.

"Explaining the Unknown God"
[Proclaiming the Blessing of the Special Grace of God in Jesus Christ to All]
- Why? Because ALL people need to hear of it!
- The World can often see things that are wrong in the world; (and even see that there “must” be a “god”) but it can never produce the needed solution.
- Because God is Sovereign, His Special Grace is sufficient to build on all honest seeking everywhere.
- Because God is the Initiator & Guarantor of Special Grace, it is sufficient for this life and the life that follows.
- For Australia, and for you.
