In the middle of chaos, sadness, and the lowest moments of life—when we feel like everything is lost and there’s no way forward—God speaks light into the darkness. That’s what Genesis 3:15 is. Right as humanity falls, God steps in with mercy. He points to a way out. The way out. Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He reminds us that no matter what we are going through, we can trust Him. He will never leave us alone to figure things out on our own. He made us. He knows our limitations. And He also knows that in Him and through Him all things are possible. Even here, in this very first promise, God is showing us the way back to Himself. Yes, sin entered our world—but God already had a plan to defeat it completely. And even though there is a process to that victory, He invites us to trust the process, trust the promise, and trust Him.

We also see clearly that the enemy is real. God says to the serpent, “I will put enmity between you and the woman.” The devil is our enemy—not our friend, not neutral, not harmless. Sin never wants our good. It wants to destroy what God loves. So we need the Holy Spirit’s wisdom to discern what is from God and what is not. We must protect the temple God gave us—our minds, our hearts, our bodies—from the attacks of the enemy. Scripture teaches us to guard our gates: what we hear, what we see, what we allow into our lives. We are watchmen on the walls, not in fear, but in wisdom, keeping our hearts aligned with the truth.

And finally, God promises that although the enemy will strike our heel, the Descendant of the woman—already pointing to Jesus—will crush the serpent’s head. That’s the victory. That’s the hope. Jesus would come to fulfill every prophecy, live a perfect and sinless life, die the death we deserved, and rise again with the keys of death and hell in His hands—freeing us, conquering death, and giving us eternal life. And one day, He will return to restore all things and bring us back into the perfect communion we were created for.

Jesus fulfilled every single promise spoken over four thousand years, through many authors, in different eras and cultures—and He fulfilled them perfectly. He came. He won. And He will return. So as we enter this season, we keep our hearts focused on His unfailing love and faithfulness.

No, Jesus may not have been born on December 25th, and Scripture doesn’t give us a date—but the truth remains: He was born. He came just as promised. And it is good for our hearts to pause once a year to go back, revisit the prophecies, watch the star rise again, and follow it straight to the manger—to the King of the universe, born of a virgin, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Emmanuel. God with us.

Come, all ye faithful. Let us worship the newborn King.

Prayer: Father, open my eyes to see clearly the path You created to bring us back to You as we look back to Scripture. Open my ears to hear Your gentle nudge, Holy Spirit, drawing me closer. Open my mind to understand the plan You have for my life, and open my heart to trust You in the process. You’ve already made a way. Amen.
