Not the Manger But the Cross Our emphasis should not be on the manger of Jesus, but the cross of Jesus Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me alone but in Him who sent Me.” John 12:44

What Jesus Has Done for You In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:2-3)
Jesus became poor that you might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. James 2:5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?
Jesus was born that you might be born again. John 3:3-5 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
Jesus became a servant that you might become a son. Philippians 2:7 But Jesus made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. Galatians 4:6-7 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slavebut a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Jesus was homeless on earth that you might have a home in Heaven. Matthew 8:20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” John 14:2 In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Jesus was made weary that you might find rest. John 4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. Matthew 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Jesus was stripped of His robe that we might be clothed. Matthew 27:28 And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. 2 Corinthians 5:8 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
Jesus was made sin that you might be made the righteousness of God through Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Jesus died that you might live! John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. John 5:24-25 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.
What Jesus Will Do for you Jesus will come again that you might go to be with him in eternity 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
He has made it possible for to experience the Death, Burial & Resurrection?
