When asked what my favorite holiday would be I didn’t need to think too long to come up with Christmas. If you asked me what was the most important I would say Good Friday. It is easy to forget that the reason God became flesh was so that He could die on the cross.
I have a friend who tries to convince me that Jesus came only for the Jews. In his theological system it sounds like the cross was just the result of the Jews not responding, an accident. But keep in mind that John 3:16 uses words like “world” and “whosoever”.
Enjoy the holiday. Celebrate the incarnation. In the midst of the joy don’t forget to be thankful that He was willing to come.
Merry Christmas.
