On 13 December 2011 my first grandson was born.  What a joy it is to hold him.  He was born into an uncertain world, and we do not know what the future will hold for him.  We pray that God will guide him and watch over him and protect him.  Samuel Andrew Vandermolen was born for a purpose - what it is, neither his parents nor his grandparents know.
     When Jesus Christ was born, He was born with a definite purpose. He was born to save.  In Luke 1:30-31 we read:  But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.  You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus."  Jesus is Greek for Joshua which means Savior.  And in Matthew 1:21 we read:  "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins." 
    So while the future of Samuel Andrew Vandermolen is unknown, we know why Jesus came to the earth.  He came to save His people from their sins.
