During the Christmas season, it is crucially important to recognize the significance of the reason as to why Jesus had to be born as a human. When a child comes to a discerning age, they aspire for an ambition that would allow them to live life to the fullest. We as human are born to live. On the other hand, Jesus Christ had a secret ambition. He was born as a human not to live but instead to give his life away, as aptly put by Michael W. Smith in his song, ‘Secret Ambition’.
Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the Holy Veil away
Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
(But) Nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away.
Mark 10:45 (KJV)
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
