Christmas isn't Christmas without a little catastrophe, right? Gifts get lost in the mail. Someone breaks that weird (but very cute) Play-Doh ornament you made when you were six. There's a big fight during Christmas dinner. Your family's overly aggressive light display knocks out the power in your entire city. You know, the usual. Plans go badly, things get broken, and relationships get damaged. And I'm not just talking about the holidays anymore — I'm talking about the human condition.
God's original plan for us and the world was really good, but sin messed things up. Sin is the thing that damages our relationships with God and each other. But God has always had a plan, and that plan was always good. God's plan rights our wrongs. It brings healing and hope to our catastrophes. It restores our relationship with God. It's this plan that we celebrate every Christmas because, just like the perfect bow completes a Christmas gift, Jesus completes God’s plan.
What does it mean to you to know Jesus completes God's plan?

About this Plan
At Christmastime, there's always a lot for us to look forward to — sometimes impatiently. But you know the saying, "good things come to those who wait”? It's true for Christmases now, but it was true on the very first Christmas as well, when God's long-awaited plan began to unfold. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we’ll hear more about God's plans for us and the whole world.
