When you look around you, you see that the world is broken by sin and death. Everywhere you look there are bad things happening, damage being done by people, turmoil everywhere, and every time you turn on the news, it is always LOADED with bad news. With Christ, God brought good news in a world filled with bad news. The purpose of Jesus is to bring love, purpose, and meaning to life, bringing joy to a person's life. Jesus is also the only source to being redeemed to God through him. The name Jesus means "God is salvation". God brings salvation, and it is by the many eyewitness accounts who were there (this is a historical account) that we have this event to celebrate, as the mission God had in mind was all for you, in grace and in mercy, to being something new and something that would generate life, joy, and peace, in a world sick and afflicted with bad news.
