Missing The Meaning

Christmas decorations have been up for weeks. We don’t know what that will look like this year with pandemic restrictions impacting businesses and our own personal movements. In the past malls often prepared a winter wonderland, a special "North Pole" room for Santa to greet his friends. In some places a nativity scene with figures of Mary and Joseph, some shepherds, and the baby Jesus might also have been displayed. Even during this very different season, perhaps especially at this time, it’s good to pause to remember the true reason for the season.

The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:9-12 NLT)

In those days and at that time I will raise up a righteous descendant from King David’s line. He will do what is just and right throughout the land. (Jeremiah 33:15 NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of Jesus to the world. Help me to stop fretting about things and truly celebrate Jesus, for He is Immanuel, God with us. Amen
