The BIG day is almost here.....Christmas!
Once again, the month has flown by way too quickly, as I'm sure it has for many of you. Once again, we may have let the fun times with friends and family and the buying, wrapping and opening presents overshadow the TRUE reason we celebrate Christmas.
Luke 2:10-11 "Then the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."
Ok, so a baby was born over 2,000 years ago.... He wasn't just any baby, he was the Savior of the world! So as we reflect on Jesus this Christmas season, let's also include the following verses to bring the full meaning of His existence to light...
John 3:16-17 "For God SO LOVED the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
The BEST gift this Christmas season can't be wrapped and placed under the tree. It doesn't cost you any money. You don't deserve it but it has been given to you for free. All you have to do is admit you are a sinner who needs a Savior, believe that Jesus is God's Son who died for your sins and rose again and this free gift of salvation is yours for all eternity!
Enjoy this Christmas season with your family. Open your presents Christmas morning. Eat all that good food and spend lots of time with your loved ones. But don't EVER forget the TRUE meaning of Christmas.
I'll be taking some time off from blogging to do the same. I'll be enjoying my family and remembering why we are celebrating.
