Christmas Time is Here!

It’s
hard to believe that Christmas is just two weeks away! Yikes! With so
much yet to do, coupled with the hardships of the pandemic, the joy of
Christmas is being tested!
How easy it is to
make Christmas all about the presents, decorations, cards, desserts,
gatherings and holiday traditions. But isn’t Christmas first and
foremost about celebrating the miracle that God became a human?
“Because
of Bethlehem, I have a Savior in heaven. Christmas begins what Easter
celebrates. The child in the cradle became the King on the cross. And
because he did, there are no marks on my record. Just grace.” Max Lucado
The
exuberance of Christmas is more than connecting with family and
friends, more than gift exchanges, and more than tasty meals and singing
carols. In fact, the joy of Christmas transcends any difficulty,
stress, set-back or disappointment you may have experienced in 2020. The
truth is, Christmas is glorious because we are tangibly reminded that
Jesus came to this earth to rescue you and me! What a gift!
For
God so loves the world, that he has given his only Son, so that none
who believe in him should perish, but should have everlasting life. John
3:16
So in the hustle and bustle of
this Christmas season, may we ponder afresh the glory of the newborn
King who promises to come again and bring His people home!
Merry Christmas!
