What was She Smoking?

Went to a Christian concert tonight and herd some weird band named Orphan Soul.  
Could not hardcore dance, because the lead singer did not like us. Strike One!
She talked way to much for a concert. Strike Two!
She said that Jesus being born and dying on the cross did not matter! Strike Three!!!!!

Ok Jesus being born does not matter what the crap are you smoking lady?  And then you have the audacity to say that Jesus Christ the Son of God dying on the cross does not matter?  I mean that is the basis for my faith as a Christian.  If not for Jesus being born of Mary the Virgin the scriptures would never have been fa filled, and Jesus would have just been another regular human SINNER!  Guess what His dying on the cross matters, because without it we could not spend an eternity with Him in Heaven.  

I do not know if she just said the wrong thing or left out a word, but by saying that made me take a  step back and take a look at her theology.  Now I want to be clear and come off like I am trying to judge her, because I am not.  Only God has the ability to see her true heart and judge her.  I still have to question her words though, because my youth were there.  I can not have them believing this crap.  So, i believe have a right in this situation to have a very strong opinion on this subject.

First, the birth of Jesus took place to one fulfill the scriptures and two to show Gods love for us.  Jesus had everything in heaven.  He humbled Himself and gave up everything he had so that we could be saved.  The virgin birth is the only of its kind and the only that will ever happen.  Mary trusted God that He would take care of her through out her pregnancy.  Mary was a women full of faith.  

Second, Jesus dying on the cross is EVERYTHING!  With out Jesus dying on the cross there would be nothing else.  With out Jesus living a perfect life there would be nothing else.  With out the Virgin birth there would be nothing else.  The cross is Gods sacrifice of His only Son so that we could spend an eternity with Him in heaven.  With out the cross there would be no reason to live today.  Jesus is the hope we have for tomorrow.  Jesus gives us the strength to face tomorrow.  Jesus is the Great I Am.  Jesus is the reason we live.  Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross.  Let us not forget the cross and the Virgin birth, because with out them there would be no today.

In conclusion, because of the virgin birth, the cross, and the resurrection of Jesus on the third day we have hope today.  We are now called to get out of bed and share the gospel with everyone we come into contact with.  The Virgin birth shows us the Faith Mary had and the Cross gives us hope.  We are all called to love.  Let us love one another just like God did when he allowed His son to be born into such an awful sinful world and then die on the cross for our sins.  

 In Him John 3:16
