Merry Christmas! Remember that Jesus is the reason for this season and ALL seasons.
For many, the Christmas season is a holiday filled with presents, lights, and family. They are not aware that Christmas gets its name from God’s gift to the world, Jesus Christ. The challenge for us as believers is to celebrate the birth of Jesus in a way that helps others know Jesus, the real man who walked on earth, and still transforms lives today. Christmas should bring excitement as we remember our Savior who was born in manger. Before Christ came, people could know God partially. After Christ came, people could know God fully because He became visible and tangible in Christ. Christ is the perfect expression of God in human form.
Enjoy your Christmas with family and friends. And don't leave Christ out of your Christmas.
“Christmas List”
I had the nicest Christmas list,
The longest one in town,
'Til Daddy looked at it and said,
"You'll have to cut it down."
I knew that what he said was true
Beyond the faintest doubt,
But was amazed to hear him say,
"You've left your best Friend out."
And so I scanned my list again,
And said, "Oh, that's not true!"
But Daddy said, "His name's not there,
That Friend who died for you."
And then I clearly understood,
'Twas Jesus that he meant;
For Him who should come first of all
I hadn't planned a cent!
I'd made a Christmas birthday list,
And left the Savior out!
But, oh, it didn't take me long
To change the list about.
And though I've had to drop some names
Of folks I like a lot,
My Lord must have the most—because
His name is at the top!
