December 1st – Christmas began in the Garden

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.

Genesis 3:15 NKJV

From the very first sin that separated mankind from God, God made a plan. Christmas was on its way from the moment Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden. The Lord could have walked away from people, or started over again, but He chose to save us instead. He would save us by sending His Son, Jesus, to be born as a baby. Baby Jesus would grow up into a man and die. But death was not the end for Jesus and, because of that, death is not the end for us, either.
