Christmas - God's Kingdom is Here

Simply put: Jesus came to earth to bring God's kingdom here. He came so I could join his family - to stop the separation.

I think John wrote the most straightforward statements on it. Referring to Jesus:
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 

He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
He goes on state what I and my family celebrate on Christmas day:
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
For Tuesday - the second statement of the Lord's Prayer: Your kingdom come - is very fitting.
