I know the real meaning of Christmas but what does it really mean?

Everyone knows that Christmas is about Christ's birth. But why is a baby born 2000 years ago important to my life today?

Philippians 2:3-11

What is Christ's nature?

What attribute of God's nature is most evident here?

r

Eternal - Christ, being God, exists eternally but made a decision to become a man in obedience to the will of the Father.

v.7 but made himself nothing

This indicates that Christ made a conscious decision

How did Christ make Himself nothing?

r

By taking the nature of a servant and coming in human form.
