Luke 2:11
Today is it. We celebrate Jesus, the greatest gift every given to us. Despite all the chaos and stress, Christmas comes and goes. Sometimes it feels like just another day but it shouldn’t. It's a time to stop and reflect. The way I make the most of it is where I put my focus. It could be on hosting dinner, finding the perfect gift, attending a record number of church services, or it could be on Jesus. I will never give or receive any better and greater gift than that baby born to a virgin in a cave stable 2000+ years ago. He is the True Reason for our celebration. God has out-gifted us all.
Jesus was born to die for us. He is the Perfect Lamb of God to pay the price—death, for all of our sins. He is the Messiah, the long awaited one. He fulfilled many scripture prophecies that night He was born. All of Heaven was waiting and rejoicing. Angels were crowding in to see their Creator born on Earth. What a sight that would've been to be a shepherd when the heavenly hosts were praising God. We will see that one day :)
He is also King of Kings--seated on the throne in Heaven. Just because He is a King doesn't mean that He is not approachable. He can be King of your heart if you let Him in! So this year when you look at that manger scene, will you see the babe as a King? The One who holds the power to open the scroll of God (Revelation 5:5). The One who had all the glory in Heaven, yet left it so that He could save you.

So today as you look at the Baby in the manager, also look at the cross because that is what He was looking forward to for you. Is Jesus the One you have been waiting for in your life? Is He your personal Savior? Run to Him because He is waiting with open arms in love to receive you. What words of worship will you offer Him on this Christmas Day?
Merry Christmas and Enjoy the Day with your family celebrating our Lord!!!
In His Love,
