Since GOD so loved the world (John 3:16) this image shows why GOD the SON came to earth and then died on the cross for mankind’s sin.

Ever wondered why?
from a manger to a cross
The wonder
Jeremiah 9:24 EXB But if people want to ·brag [boast], let them brag [boast] that they understand and KNOW ME. Let them brag [boast] that I am the Lord, and that I am ·kind [loyal] and fair [just], and that I do things that are right [righteous] on earth. ·This kind of bragging pleases ME [In this I am pleased],” says the Lord [1 Corinthians 1:31; 2 Corinthians 10:17; James 1:9–10].
How could the SON of GOD dying on the cross be good?
HE (JESUS) said, It is finished, and HE bowed HIS head and give up HIS SPIRIT John 19:30
JESUS, eternally in the form of GOD, took on the form of man and became “GOD with us” (Matthew 1:23) and then on the cross became “GOD for us” by giving up HIS life to rescue us so that we could be forgiven and KNOW HIM personally and even become HIS children if we only believe (John 1:12-13, John 3:16).
And then JESUS rose from the dead, proving HE was the SON of GOD with power (Romans 1:4) and guaranteeing that we who believe in HIM will rise again and live forever with HIM.

I made our traditional pineapple upside down JESUS birthday cake But this year in a shape of a tree for I see so many Christmas trees 
posted on Facebook. Let us not forget the reason God the Son came.
Ring the bells, ring the bells, let the whole world know, Christ was born of Mary many years ago. Born to die so man could live, came to earth new life to give, born of Mary, born so low many years ago (an old song)
Emptied of HIS majesty HE comes in human form Being’s source begins to be And God is born All our griefs HE’ll gladly share… All our sins HE’ll fully bear HE will cover our disgrace And suffered in our place. — Bob Kauflin, Sovereign Grace
Love and hugs.
Merry Christmas
