Christmas and Adoption

The good folks over at Carolina Hope Adoption get it. They get the connection between the Gospel and Adoption.

They've written a blog entitled "Don't just celebrate Christmas, celebrate your adoption."

Here's a little excerpt:

If you think about it, what we celebrate during the Christmas season—God sending His Son to redeem us—was for the purpose of giving us adoption as sons. According to Paul, God the Father sent His eternal Son into the world so that we might receive the status of sons and eternally share in the Son’s communion with Him.

I think I might take it one minor step further, saying that all of this was ultimately for God's glory, not our own. But, I doubt that CHA would disagree.

Merry Christmas!
