Merry Christmas

Luke: ¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Today we remember that Christ was born as a human into this world. He did not come into this world with trumpets blaring. He was not born into a royal family, nor was his birth shouted from the rooftops by the masses. No, Christ came into this world just like most of us, with little fanfare, with little worldly glory, and very little acknowledgement. His family, some of the common town folk, and a few men who traveled great distance. If anything our savior had less that what we had at our birth. Some rags, a hay manger, and a drafty barn. Christ came into this world with very little, but He came with everything He needed. He came with His Fathers love, His peace, His blessing, and His grace. What more could one ask for? We come into this world just the same. We have all of the that available to us, plus we have Christ our brother, and the Holy Spirit. In many houses, under many trees there will be many gifts. Do not let this day slip by without sharing the story of the one gift that rises above all others. Gather your family, your friends, and your neighbors. Read and share the story of the Christ child. The child that was born to lowly beginnings, but rose to defeat even death itself, so that all might have eternal life. Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you, and your families. May the wonder of this joyous day fill your hearts with joy, and fill your mouths with words of kindness, love, forgiveness, and peace. Rejoice, for Christ is born!
