He IS.

My mother-in-law gave me a book (The Christmas Story: God's Unspeakable Gift) for Christmas. This small book, by Chuck Smith, is packed full of depth. One could easily read it in an hour. I read it and now I want to share an excerpt.

As the saying goes, "Good things come in small packages." On that dark night in Bethlehem, the saying was proved to be true. Within that rough, dirty manger, wrapped in a tiny, nondescript bundle, was the most incredible Gift the world has ever received. In that one small Child, God had sent the answer to man's every need.

He sent us an Advocate (1 John 2:1), that we would know we weren't alone.

He sent the Bread of Life (John 6:35), that we would never again know hunger.

He sent the Living Water (John 4:10), that we would never again thirst.

He sent the Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6), that we could rest from our wars.

He sent the Counselor (Is. 9:6), that we would gain wisdom and guidance.

He sent the Everlasting Father (Is. 9:6), that we would know eternal love.

He sent the Good Shepherd (John 10:11), that we would have a protector.

He sent the Light of the World (John 8:12), that we would never again stumble.

He sent the Deliverer (Rom. 11:26), that our bondage would end.

He sent the Great High Priest (Heb. 4:14) , that we would approach God.

He sent us Hope (1 Tim. 1:1), that our despair would finally end.

He sent Truth (John 14:6), that our blind eyes would be opened.

He sent us a Lamb (Rev. 13:8), that our sins could be covered.

He sent a Lion (Rev. 5:5), that we would be victorious.

He sent a Savior (2 Tim. 1:10), that death would be abolished forever.

I think it's pretty clear......EVERYTHING that we need Him to be....HE IS!!!!
